Which best describes a major characteristic of both volcanoes and earthquakes? they are centered at the poles?

1 answer:

6 0

A major characteristic of both volcanoes and earthquakes is that they are located in the same geographic area. Most earthquakes are along the edges of tectonic plates. This is where most volcanoes are too. Most earthquakes directly beneath a volcano are caused by the movement of magma.

Abnormal protrusion of the eye out of the orbit is known as

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Exophthalmos

Explanation:

Exophthalmos is a disorder which can be either bilateral or unilateral. Sometimes it is also known by other names like Exophthalmus, Excophthamia, Exobitism.

It is basically the bulging of eye anterior out of orbit which if left unattended may result in eye openings even while sleeping consequently resulting in comeal dryness and damage which ultimately may lead to blindness.

It is commonly caused by trauma or swelling of eye surrounding tissues resulting from trauma.

under normal conditions describe how increasing the temperature affects the solubility of a typical salt

Eduardwww [97]

For many solids dissolved in liquid water, the solubility increases with temperature. The increase in kinetic energy that comes with higher temperatures allows the solvent molecules to more effectively break apart the solute molecules that are held together by intermolecular attractions.

What are they wats to find the wavelength of a transverse wave

Nesterboy [21]

The wavelength can always be determined by measuring the distance between any two corresponding points on adjacent waves. In the case of a longitudinal wave, awavelength measurement is made by measuring the distance from a compression to the next compression or from a rarefaction to the next rarefaction.

Three objects have velocities that vary with time

Solnce55 [7]

#21

initial velocity=u=5m/s
Time=t=2s
Acceleration=a=1.3m/s²

According to first equation of kinematics

v=u+at
v=5+1.3(2)
v=5+2.6
v=7.6m/s

#22

v1=2+3(3)=2+9=11m/s
v2=-8-4(3)=-20m/s
v3=1-5(3)=-14m/s

The order is

v2<V3<v1

for speed find absolute velocity

S1=|11|=11m/s
S2=|-20|=20m/s
S3=|-14|=14m/s

So order is

S1<S3<S2

Change in Energy Quick Check

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The force of gravity on the object decreases. (FALSE)

The potential energy of the object decreases. (TRUE)

The acceleration due to gravity decreases. (FALSE)

The kinetic energy of the object decrease (FALSE)

Explanation:

FORCE OF GRAVITY:

Force of gravity on the object is the weight of object, which depends upon the mass and value of acceleration due to gravity (W = mg). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity is also constant on earth.

Therefore, force of gravity remains same on the object. The statement is false.

POTENTIAL ENERGY:

Potential energy of object depends upon the mass, value of acceleration due to gravity, and change in height of object (P.E = mgΔh). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth. But, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, potential energy of object decreases. The statement is true.

ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY:

Acceleration due to gravity depends upon the altitude (gh = g[1 - 2h/Re]). Since, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, acceleration due to gravity increases. The statement is false.

But, this change is not significant.

KINETIC ENERGY:

Kinetic Energy of object, which depends upon the mass and velocity of the object (K.E = mv²/2). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and velocity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth.

Therefore, kinetic energy of the object also increases. The statement is false.
