Answer:
magma forming above a subducting plate slowly rise into the overriding crust causing the formation of a volcano
Explanation:
Alot as far as i know unless you need it in formal terms.
Answer:
Explanation:
The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by , where is the spring constant of the spring and is displacement from point of equilibrium.
When released, this potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is given by , where is the mass of the object and is the object's velocity.
Thus, we have:
Substituting given values, we get:
Answer:
First Quarter and Third Quarter.
Explanation:
Tides are formed as a consequence of the differentiation of gravity due to the Moon across to the Earth sphere.
Since gravity variates with the distance:
(1)
Where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects that are interacting and r is the distance between them.
For example, seeing the image below, point A is closer to the Moon than point b, and at the same time the center of mass of the Earth will feel more attracted to the Moon than point B. Therefore, that creates a tidal bulge in point A and point B.
When the Sun and the Moon are alight with respect to the Earth, then the Sun tidal force contributes to the tidal force of the Moon over the Earth. That makes the high tides even higher (spring tides).
However, when the Sun is not in the same line than the Moon (the Moon is at 90° with respect to the Sun), then the low tides are higher and the high tides are lower. That scenario is known as neap tides.
Therefore, that happens when the Moon is at First Quarter and Third Quarter.
