Facts about Tsunami?

1 answer:

4 0

1.A tsunami is a series of ocean waves caused by an underwater earthquake, landslide, or volcanic eruption. More rarely, a tsunami can be generated by a giant meteor impact with the ocean. These waves can reach heights of over 100 ft.
2.About 80% of tsunamis happen within the Pacific Ocean’s “Ring of Fire.”
3.The first wave of a tsunami is usually not the strongest, successive waves get bigger and stronger.
4.Tsunamis can travel at speeds of about 500 miles or 805 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as a jet plane.
5.The states in the U.S. at greatest risk for tsunamis are Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and California.
Hope it help!

The logarithm of x, written log(x), tells you the power to which you would raise 10 to get x. So, if y=log(x), then x=10^y. It i

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the rules and concepts related to logarithmic operations.

From the definition of logarithm we know that,

$Log_{10}(10) = 1$

In this way for the given example we have that a logarithm with base 10 expressed in the problem can be represented as,

$log_{10}(1,000,000)$

We can express this also as,

$log_{10}(10^6)$

By properties of the logarithms we know that the logarithm of a power of a number is equal to the product between the exponent of the power and the logarithm of the number.

So this can be expressed as

$6*log_{10}(10)$

Since the definition of the base logarithm 10 of 10 is equal to 1 then

$6*1=6$

The value of the given logarithm is equal to 6

Why do we use the hydrogen spectrum to identify if a star is red or blue<br> shifted? *

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

But if you place a clear container filled with hydrogen gas between the flashlight and the prism, gaps appear in the smooth rainbow of colors, places where the light literally goes missing. The dark absorption lines of a star at rest (left) get shifted towards red if the star is moving away from Earth (right)

Two pure tones are sounded together. The drawing shows the pressure variations of the two sound waves, measured with respect to

amm1812

Answer:

4.13Hz

Explanation:

f1 = 1/t1 = 1/0.022 = 45.45 Hz

f2 = 1/t2 = 1/0.0242= 41.32 Hz

No. of beats

= 45.45- 41.32

~ 4.13Hz
