C) accretionary-wedge complex.

Explanation:

The accretionary wedge complex is a thick accumulation of sediments and small tectonic blocks formed from materials scraped off subducting oceanic lithosphere at a convergent margin.

Space between the subducting plate and the less dense plate gets filled by sediments scraped off the subducting plate and this forms a wedge like sediment called the accretionary wedge.

  • The accretionary wedge is invariably made up of materials found on the ocean floor.
  • Under extreme conditions, some parts of wedge transforms into metamorphic rocks.
  • The wedge is made up of: pelagic sediments, ocean floor basalts e.t.c

Which term describes the object that a satellite revolves around?
m_a_m_a [10]

The object that a satellite revolves around is the <em>central body</em> of the system. <em>(C)</em>

For example:

-- The central body of the solar system is the Sun.

-- The central body for TV satellites, GPS satellites, weather satellites, and the International Space Station is the Earth.

-- The central body for Phobos and Deimos is Mars.

This should be a pretty easy question to answer by elimination, when you notice that "Orbit", "Period", and "Rotation" are not "Bodies".

Two convex lenses are placed 15 cm apart. The left lens has a focal length of 10 cm, and the right lens a focal length of 5 cm.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The image distance from right lens is 2.86 cm and image is real.

Explanation:

Given that,

Focal length of left lens = 10 cm

Focal length of right lens = 5 cm

Distance between the lenses d= 15 cm

Object distance = 50 cm

We need to calculate the image distance from left lens

Using formula of lens

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{u}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{10}-\dfrac{1}{-50}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{3}{25}

v=8.33\ cm

We need to calculate the image distance from right lens

The object distance will be

u = 15-8.33 = 6.67\ cm

Using formula of lens

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{u}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{5}-\dfrac{1}{-6.67}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1167}{3335}

v=2.86\ cm

The image is real.

Hence, The image distance from right lens is 2.86 cm and image is real.

The Old Faithful geyser found in Yellowstone Park is an example of _____.
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

cone geyser

Explanation:

The Old Faithful geyser is the oldest discovered geyser in the Yellowstone national park. The eruptions of the geyser are particularly predictable. It is a cone type geyser.

Cone geysers generally have a spout through which the water ejects out. When super heated water in the tube then the water starts to boil and form bubbles of steam, after this process the eruption takes place.

an object weighs 98 n on earth. How much does it weigh on planet x where the acceleration due to gravity in 6 m/s^2
Degger [83]
60 N because 98N=mg (here g= 9.8 on earth) thus mass can be calculated which is 98/9.8 = 10kg Now,new weight with g = 6m/s^2 =m×g' (here g' is new acceleration of the new planet) = 10×6=60N
