How do earthquakes affect earths surface?

Physics
1 answer:
ivanzaharov [21]4 years ago
4 0
Some of the reasons that can cause can earthquake are volcanic eruptions, the grinding of tectonic plates beneath the earth's crust and violent explosions which can be artificially induced as well. No matter what the reason is, earthquakes affect the environment and earth's surface. Noticeable cracks have formed on the earth's surface after earthquakes. If the tremors are violent, it can result in the destruction of landscapes. The mountains become prone to land sliding. the glacier's become a threat because of fear of avalanches. tsunamis which are earthquakes in the ocean bed can cause heavy flooding which causes water to cross all boundaries and shores and flood entire cities. Earthquakes caused by volcanoes can result in the spewing of so much lava that it may spill everywhere and cool changing the surface of the earth geologically as well as the ash causing aerial pollution.

A cylindrical tungsten filament 16.0 cm long with a diameter of 1.00 mm is to be used in a machine for which the temperature wil
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Resistance of the tungsten wire

R = resistivity x length / cross sectional area

= \frac{5.25\times10^{-8}\times16\times10^{-2}}{3.14\times(.5\times10^{-3})^2}

= 107 x 10⁻⁴ ohm

Resistance at 120 degree can be obtained from the following formula

R_t = R_0( 1 + \alpha\times t )

R_t = 107\times10^{-4}( 1 + .0045\times 100)

= 155.15 x 10⁻⁴ ohm

= 160 x 10⁻⁴ ohm ( rounding off to two syg fig )

current = 12.5

potential diff = 12.5 x 155.15 x 10⁻⁴ V

=  0 .1939 V

= .19 V

required electric field = potential diff / length of wire

= .1939 / 16 x 10⁻²

= 1.2 N / C

A heating element is made by maintaining a potential difference of 75.0 V across the length of a Nichrome wire that has a 3.83 ×
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Explanation:

power of a heating element = V² / R where V is voltage and R is resistance

putting in the values

5200 = 75² / R

R = 1.082 ohm

Formula for resistance

R = ρ L / S , ρ is resistivity , L is length and S is cross sectional area

1.082 = 5 x 10⁻⁷ x L / (3.83 x 10⁻⁶)

L = 8.29 m

b )

power of a heating element = V² / R , R is new resistance

5200 = 120² / R

R = 2.77 ohm

R = ρ L / S , ρ is resistivity , L is length and S is cross sectional area

2.77 = 5 x 10⁻⁷ x L / (3.83 x 10⁻⁶)

L = 21.22 m
