Answer:

The answer is 5.1852 cm/yr .

Explanation:

In order to calculate the full seafloor spreading rate in cm/yr, we have to first calculate the half-spreading rate which can be done by simply dividing the given distance (in cm) by time (yr); after calculating the half-spreading rate, we will double it and get the full seafloor spreading rate, thus:

Distance = 3,500 km = 3,500 × 100,000 cm = 350,000,000 cm

Time = 135,000,000 years

The half-spreading rate = distance ÷ time = 350,000,000 ÷ 135,000,000 = 2.5926 cm/yr .

Therefore, the full seafloor spreading rate = 2.5926 cm/yr × 2 = 5.1852 cm/yr.

You are watching TV with a friend when there is a special bulletin about a city in California being devastated by an earthquake.
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The epicenter to a biologically impaired person is simply, the point where the devastation is much. The point where the earthquake originates.

Explanation:

I will further explain thus, between California and Los Angeles is about 50  miles apart. That is about 190 towns in between. So, whatever devastation we feel hear, will be triple what they will feel at the epicenter. Epicenter is where the damages to structures and environment are most.

I can go further to use what happens bomb exploxion to further drive home the meaning. If there is a bomb {grenade} explosion, the point where the explosion occurs has more devastation than areas about 100 meters away.

Place the steps of hydraulic fracturing in order, with the first step on top.
lyudmila [28]

The steps of hydraulic fracturing have been placed in order as follows:

1. The targeted shale formation is drilled to the desired depth

2. The well is completed

3. Production begins with oil and gas flowing and fracturing commencing.

4. Well abandonment which entails leaving the land as it was initially..

<h3>What is hydraulic fracturing?</h3>

Hydraulic fracturing refers to the process of injecting a well with chemicals and other materials that are needed for it to release its oil content. Hydraulic fracturing often begins with the preparation of the well to be used for the purpose.

Next is the drilling of the target area. This is followed by the completion of the well, and the beginning of production. After production is completed, the well is now abandoned or returned to the way it was when production began.
