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.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

(a) 62.69 nJ/m^3

(b) 1015.22 μJ/m^3

Explanation:

Electric field, E = 119 V/m

Magnetic field, B = 5.050 x 10^-5 T

(a) Energy density of electric field = \frac{1}{2}\varepsilon _{0}E^{2}

          =\frac{1}{2}\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}\times 119\times 119

          = 6.269 x 10^-8 J/m^3 = 62.69 nJ/m^3

(b) energy density of magnetic field = \frac{B^{2}}{2\mu _{0}}

=\frac{\left ( 5.05\times 10^{-5} \right )^{2}}{2\times 4\times 3.14\times 10^{-7}}

= 1.01522 x 10^-3 J/m^3 = 1015.22 μJ/m^3

rewona [7]

Answer:

57,42 KJ

Explanation:

By a isobaric proces, the expresion for the works in the jpg adjunt. Then:

W = Pa(Vb - Va) = Pa*Vb - Pa*Va ---(1)

By the ideal gases law: PV=RTn

Then, in (1): (remember Pa = Pb)

W =  R*Tb*n - R*T*an = R*n*(Tb - Ta) --- (2)

Since we have 1 Kg air: How much is this in moles?

From bibliography: 28.96 g/mol

Then, in 1 Kg (1000 g) there are:

n =  34,53 mol

Finally, in (2):

W =  (8,3144 J/K.mol)*(34,53 mol)*(500K - 300K) = 51 419,9 J ≈ 57,42 KJ
