The Earth rumbles and a hiss of steam issues from the top of Mt Ruapehu. Are these two events related? Is the earthquake caused by the volcano? Or is the steam caused by the earthquake?

Tectonic plates

When Alfred Wegener first proposed the idea of continental drift (the precursor idea to plate tectonic theory), it didn’t quite explain the full story. While he correctly showed that Africa and South America fitted together, his model wasn’t able to explain the violent forces that occur around the Earth’scrust.

Why is data layering (information layers) important in a GIS?
Gennadij [26K]
What is Data Layering
A lot of GIS systems could allow for the separation of different geographic features in logical categories. These categories are called map layers. Each of these layers contains information taken from one geographic feature or from a selected small group that has related features. Because data is separated in layers, they can be easily<span> manipulated and spatially analyzed</span>

Question 3 2 pts From the previous question about the star Alnilam, how does the temperature of this star compare to the surface
Margaret [11]

Answer: The star Alnilam is hotter

Explanation:

The question seems to be the continuation of another question, which is written below:

Use Wien's law to calculate the surface temperature of the star Alnilam in Kelvin. The peak wavelength \lambda_{p} of the star is 0.116 \mu m

So, by using <u>Wien's displacement law</u>, which relates the wavelength  \lambda_{p} where the intensity of the radiation is maximum with the temperature T of the black body, and expresed as:

\lambda_{p}.T=C    (1)

Where:

T is in Kelvin (K)

\lambda_{p}=0.116 \mu m=0.116 (10)^{-6} m is the wavelength of the emission peak in meters (m).

C=0.0028976 mK is the Wien constant

We can find Alnilam's temperature and then compare it with the Sun's temperature (T_{Sun}=5778 K):

T_{Alnilam}=\frac{C}{\lambda_{p}}    (2)

T_{Alnilam}=\frac{0.0028976 mK}{0.116 (10)^{-6} m}    (3)

T_{Alnilam}=24979.310 K    (4)

As we can see T_{Alnilam} > T_{Sun}, hence:

<h3>The star Alnilam is hotter</h3>
