Facts about Tsunami?

Physics
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]3 years ago
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!

Which method is not a technique currently used by ocean scientists to map the topography of the ocean floor?
raketka [301]

Answer:

Magnetometer

Explanation:

Magnetometer technique is not using by scientists for studying the ocean floor.The scientists currently is using SONAR ( sound navigation and ragging) technique for studying the ocean floor.SONAR is used sound waves sound waves for studying the ocean floor or we can say that SONAR is based on sound propagation.

Therefore answer is Magnetometer

WILL GIVE BRAINLY!! PLEASE HELPP
LekaFEV [45]

The purpose of the machine is to leverage its mechanical advantage such that the force it outputs to move the heavy object is greater than the force required for you to input.

But there's no such thing as a free lunch! When you apply the conservation of energy, the work the machine does on the object will always be equal to (in an ideal machine) or less than the work you input to the machine.

This means that you will apply a lesser force for a longer distance so that the machine can supply a greater force on the object to push it a smaller distance. That is the trade-off of using the machine: it enables you to use a smaller force but at the cost of having to apply that smaller force for a greater distance.

The answer is: The work input required will equal the work output.

Problem 2: (15 pts) A 10-m high cylindrical container is half-filled at the bottom with water of density =1000 kg/m3 while the t
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

\Delta p = 90.7 kPa

Explanation:

specific gravity of oil is = \frac{\rho_{oil}}{\rho_w}

\rho_{oil} = 0.85*1000 = 850 kg/m3

we know that

change in pressure  for oil is given as

\Delta p = \rho gh

here density and h is for oil

\Delta p = 850*5 *9.81 = 41,692.5 kPa

change in pressure  for WATER is given as

\Delta p = \rho gh

here density is for water and h is for water

\Delta p = 1000*5 *9.81 = 49,050 kPa

pressure change due to both is given as

\Delta p = 41692.3 + 49050 = 90742.5 N/m2

\Delta p = 90.7 kPa

A Man Moved first a Distance of 1000 m in 25 second and 2.5 km in 50 second along a in straight line?​
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Average speed = 46.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the time taken in covering first 1000 m = 25 seconds.

The time taken in covering next 2.5 km = 50 seconds.

Total distance covered = 1000 m + 2500 m = 3500 m

Total time taken = 25+50=75 seconds

Average speed = Total distance covered / total time taken

= 3500/75 = 46.67 m/s
