An earthquake happens when tectonic plates move against each other. A oceanic and a continental tectonic plates might move against each other. When that happens water is pushed upwards and it creates ripples that then move towards land. It's like throwing a rock in water but a lot bigger. I can't post external links on Brainly but you can find more information about tsunami's on Google

Complete them with correct formulas<br> Then balance them
otez555 [7]

Answer:

1. 2Ca + N_{2} → 2CaN

2. 4Li + O_{2} → 2Li_{2}O

3. 2KCl + BaF_2 → 2KF + BaCl_2

4. CH_4 + 2O_2 → CO_2 + 2H_2O

Be sure to balance the number of atoms on both sides of each equation only by adding coefficients to the compounds!!!! Those without a coefficient are meant to have a coefficient of 1.

What is the result of an uncontrolled chain reaction
vazorg [7]

A chain reaction is a nuclear reaction that occurs when sufficient unstable nuclei are present so that when one splits (decays), its products hit other unstable nuclei, causing them to decay and initiating a chain reaction.

If this reaction goes uncontrolled, a massive explosion occurs. Such a reaction is the type that went uncontrolled when nuclear bombs were dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II. A chain reaction is much like dominoes all in a row; when one goes down, they all go down in order. The only way to block the chain reaction is to pull out a domino or to block the fall so the "chain" is broken.

The amount of fissionable material needed to accomplish a spontaneous chain reaction is called the critical mass. The critical mass for U-235 is about 1 kg. This explosive fission process takes place quickly, and an incredible amount of energy is released when it occurs.

So it would be C.
