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.

Why are there more lines in the sun's spectrum than in the hydrogen spectrum?
Mrac [35]
Hydrogen's light spectrum is limited to its quanta, so electrons *and photons*, can only travel between the electron orbitals. The light emmited from the sun is almost all the spectrum of light from UV to gamma rays, including the visible spectrum. Thats why there are more lines.

A solenoid that is 35 cm long and contains 450 circular coils 2.0 cm in diameter carries a 1.75-A current. (a) What is the magne
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )  No of turns per metre

n = 450 / .35

= 1285.71

Magnetic field inside the solenoid

B = μ₀ n I

Where I is current

B = 4π x 10⁻⁷ x 1285.71 x 1.75

= 28.26 x 10⁻⁴ T

This is the uniform magnetic field inside the solenoid.

b )

Magnetic field around a very long wire at a distance d is given by the expression

B = ( μ₀ /4π ) X 2I / d

= 10⁻⁷ x 2 x ( 1.75 / .01 )

= .35 x 10⁻⁴ T

In the second case magnetic field is much less. It is due to the fact that in the solenoid magnetic field gets multiplied due to increase in the number of turns. In straight coil this does not happen .

2. An ammeter registers 2.5 A of current in a wire that is connected to a 9.0 V
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

3.6 Ω

Explanation:

Resistance: This is defined as the opposition to the flow of current in an electric circuit. The S.I unit of Resistance is Ohm's (Ω).

From the question above,

Applying Ohm's law

V = IR...................... Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = current registered by the ammeter, R = Resistance.

make R the subject of the equation

R = V/I............... Equation 2

Given: V = 9 V, I = 2.5 A

Substitute into equation 2

R = 9/2.5

R = 3.6 Ω

Hence the resistance of the wire =  3.6 Ω
