Plate tectonics is the scientific theory explaining the movement of the earths crust. The movement of these tectonic plates is l

ikely caused by convection currents in the molten rock in earths mantle below the crust. Earthquakes and volcanoes are the short term results of this tectonic movement.

Answer:

Continental drift theory describes the long term effect of plate tectonics.

Explanation:

The long term result of plate tectonic movement is the continental drift. The continents of Earth lay on tectonic plates, that are in motion and interaction via plate tectonics. The drift of the Earths continent is an ongoing process evident in the rift valleys and seafloor spreading zones.

The theory that  the Earth's continents are dynamic and have drifted relative to each other is known as continental drift which correlates with the theory of plate tectonics.

Every year, the Earth's outer shell plates are displaced by a small amount due to the heat coming from the Earths interior via convection currents.

The bones of the forearm (radius and ulna) are hinged to the humerus at the elbow. The biceps muscle connects to the bones of th
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The force exerted by the biceps is 143.8 kgf.

Explanation:

To calculate the force exerted by the biceps, we calculate the momentum in the elbow.

This momentum has to be zero so that her forearm remains motionless.

Being:

W: mass weight (6.15 kg)

d_W= distance to the mass weight (0.425 m)

A: weight of the forearm (2.25 kg)

d_A: distance to the center of mass of the forearm (0.425/2=0.2125 m)

H: force exerted by the biceps

d_H: distance to the point of connection of the biceps (0.0215 m)

The momemtum is:

H*d_H-A*d_A-W*d_W=0\\\\H=(A*d_A+W*d_W)/d_H\\\\H=(2.25*0.2125+6.15*0.425)/0.0215\\\\H=(0.478125+2.61375)/0.0215\\\\H=3.091875/0.0215=143.8

The force exerted by the biceps is 143.8 kgf.
