The correct is - (b) the African plate is spreading apart to form two separate plates.

The African tectonic plate, on of the biggest ones, but it will not be like for a long time in the future as the plate is separating into two parts. The eastern part of the plate is moving towards east, and it is moving away from the mainland Africa. Because of this movement, cracks have been forming all over the eastern side of Africa, thus the numerous faults. Over time, as the distance is increasing, the space in between will fill with ocean water, thus making a natural barrier between them, as well as setting the foundations for the creation of a new sea, or maybe even an ocean.

Answer

  • 23.32°
  • x=4637.16 feet
  • y=1999.8 feet  
  • Explanation

Sketch a triangle ABC, where A is at the apex(top) and BC is the base.Let side AB=5050 feet and BC=6000feet.Drop a perpendicular line from A to BC at O to represent distance y and OB is distance x.

Point A = your location

Point B=First tower and Point C is the second tower.

To calculate the angle in degrees we use law of cosines,

2420²=5050²+6000²-(2)(5050)(6000)(cosB)

B=23.32° is the angle in question

Secondly, we find value of x

CosB=x/5050

X=4637.16feet, the position east of the tower

Thirdly, we calculate y

SinB=y/5050

0.39599=y/5050

y=1999.77

y=1999.8 feet , the position north of the tower

What is typically responsible for forming volcanic island chains in the oceans? Question 10 options: A) Composite volcanoes B) F
RSB [31]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A hot spot develops above the plume. Magma generated by the hot spot rises through the rigid plates of the lithosphere and produces active volcanoes at the Earth's surface. And as oceanic volcanoes move away from the hot spot, they cool and subside. As a result they produce older islands, atolls, and seamounts.
