Handily, these three senses of stress also correlate with the three types of plate boundaries. Compressive stress happens at convergent plate boundaries where two plates move toward each other. Tensional stress happens at divergent plate boundaries where two plates are moving away from each other.

Find the distance between the points given.<br> (2, 2) and (5,5)<br> 3<br> O 32<br> o 72

Answer:

$d = 3\sqrt{2}$

Explanation:

The distance between two distinct points on the same plane ( $d$ ) can be calculated by the General Equation of the Line Segment, a derivation from the Pythagorean Theorem:

$d = \sqrt{(x_{B}-x_{A})^{2}+(y_{B}-y_{A})^{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$(x_{A}, y_{A})$ - Initial point.

$(x_{B}, y_{B})$ - Final point.

If we know that $(x_{A}, y_{A}) = (2, 2)$ and $(x_B, y_B) = (5, 5)$ , then the distance of the line segment is:

$d =\sqrt{(5-2)^{2}+(5-2)^{2}}$

$d = \sqrt{18}$

$d = 3\sqrt{2}$

Which of the following descriptions best states how oceans and land absorb the sun's energy differently?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

I think you forgot to add the descriptions along with this question. Based on my research and knowledge, i am answering the question. Land reflects the sun's energy slowly, while oceans absorb the sun's energy more quickly and this best states how oceans and land absorb the sun's energy differently.
