Movement of the tectonic plates cause earthquakes and tsunamis

Plate tectonics, when the inner layers of the earth vibrates and reacts with high intensity of heat and magma due to the earth's core.

The wave is called a tsunami.Tsunami waves are produced when a volcanic eruption or earth quake occurs in the ocean.Tsunami waves are usually giant waves . when they are produced far out in the ocean, they are not all that tall. What happens is that as they begin to move from far out in the ocean towards the coast, they begin getting taller and taller the depth of the sea floor reduces and the sea gets shallower and shallower. By time they reach land they may be dozens of feet high.<span>They also move at terrific speed especially over deep waters, almost as fast as a jet plane. They only begin to slow down as they approach land but even then the speed is still tremendous.</span>

In nuclear fission and fusion reactions mass is converted into energy. The average person in US uses around 100,000,000 J of ene

daser333 [38]

Answer:

a) The yearly energy consumption for a US population of 300 million is $3\times 10^{16} J/year$

b) The energy that would be released if a 60 kg person were converted entirely into energy is $5.4\times 10^{18}$ Joules.

c) 180 years would this amount of energy support a population of 300 million.

Explanation:

a) Average energy consumed by single person of US = 100,000,000 J/year

Then 300 million US citizen will consume:

300 million = 300 × 1,000,000 = $3\times 10^8$

The yearly energy consumption for a US population :

$100,000,000 J/year\times 3\times 10^8=3\times 10^{16} J/year$

The yearly energy consumption for a US population of 300 million is $3\times 10^{16} J/year$

b) $E = m\times c^2$

E = Energy from converted mass of m

c = speed of light

Given mass of person = m = 60 kg

$E=60 kg\times (3\times 10^8 m/s)^2 = 5.4\times 10^{18} J$

c) Energy calculated in part (b) = $E=5.4\times 10^{18} J$

The yearly energy consumption for a US population of 300 million in an year = $3\times 10^{16} J/year$

Let the that would be supported by $5.4\times 10^{18}$ Joules of energy be x.

$x\times 3\times 10^{16} J/year=5.4\times 10^{18} J$

$x=\frac{5.4\times 10^{18} J}{3\times 10^{16} J/year}=180 years$

180 years would this amount of energy support a population of 300 million.
