How do convection currents influence plate tectonics

Physics
1 answer:
jarptica [38.1K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer and Explanation:

  • Convection happens when particles with a great deal of warmth vitality in a fluid or gas move and replace particles with less warmth vitality.  
  • Lighter (less thick), warm material ascents while heavier (progressively thick) cool material sinks. It is this development that makes course examples known as convection flows in the environment, in water, and in the mantle of Earth.  
  • Huge amount of pressure and heat inside the earth causes the hot magma to stream in convection ebbs and flows. These flows cause the development of the structural plates that make up the world's outside.  
  • Plates at our planet's surface move in view of the extreme warmth in the Earth's center that causes liquid shake in the mantle layer to move.
  • It moves in an example considered a convection cell that structures when warm material ascents, cools, and in the long run sink down. As the chilled material sinks off, it is warmed and rises once more.

If you were to triple the size of the Earth (R = 3R⊕) and double the mass of the Earth (M = 2M⊕), how much would it change the g
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Decreased by a factor of 4.5

Explanation:

"We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}

where G =6.67408 × 10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2 is the gravitational constant on Earth. M_1, M_2 are the masses of the object and Earth itself. and R distance between, or the Earth radius.

So when R is tripled and mass is doubled, we have the following ratio of the new gravity over the old ones:

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}}{G\frac{M_1m_2}{r^2}}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{\frac{M_2}{R^2}}{\frac{m_2}{r^2}}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{R^2}\frac{r^2}{m_2}

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{M_2}{m_2}(\frac{r}{R})^2

Since M_2 = 2m_2 and r = R/3

\frac{F_G}{f_g} = \frac{2}{3^2} = 2/9 = 1/4.5

So gravity would have been decreased by a factor of 4.5
