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.

A kettle of water contains 1.2 kg of water. Calculate how much energy is required to hear it from water at 10 degrees to its boi
Darya [45]

Answer:

450 kJ

Explanation:

Q = mCΔT

where Q is heat (energy),

m is mass,

C is specific heat capacity,

and ΔT is the temperature change.

Q = (1.2 kg) (4180 J/kg/°C) (100°C − 10°C)

Q = 451,440 J

Q ≈ 450 kJ

A sled starts from rest,
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

25.6 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the sled.  There are two forces acting on the sled:

Normal force pushing perpendicular to the hill

Weight force pulling straight down

Take sum of the forces parallel to the hill:

∑F = ma

mg sin θ = ma

a = g sin θ

a = (9.8 m/s²) (sin 38.0°)

a = 6.03 m/s²

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 6.03 m/s²

t = 4.24 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (6.03 m/s²) (4.24 s) + (0 m/s)

v = 25.6 m/s

Which letters represent constructive interference in this diffraction pattern? Check all that apply.
trasher [3.6K]

Answer: A, C and D

Explanation:

Interference occurs when two waves superimpose to form a wave having a smaller or larger amplitude.

Constructive interference is said to occur when two waves superimpose to produce a wave having larger amplitude. It occurs for the waves having phase difference of multiple of 2π. On the other hand, destructive interference occurs for the waves having phase difference  π, 3π, ..and so on.

In the given picture, the bright regions represent constructive interference where as the dark ones between them represent destructive interference. Thus, the correct letters representing constructive interference are: A, C and D.

trapecia [35]

Answer:

The work done by the friction force is 11700J

Explanation:

The work done by the friction force is given by:

Wfs=fs*cos(\theta)*d\\Wfs=fs*cos(0)*65m

According to Newton's second law:

f=m*a\\fs=120kg*1.50m/s^2=180N

So:

Wfs=180N*65m\\Wfs=11700J
