Mountain ranges and belts are built through the process called what

Physics

nordsb [41]3 years ago

They are built through the process of what called as Orogenesis. Orogenesis is the process of the mountain making, upheaval or formation. It is also called Orogeny. Orogeny is the process which the mountains are formed. The process of mountain formation especially when it is faulting. The making of the mountains is also Orogenesis. An orogeny is an event which leads to mountain deformation due to some interaction between Earth Lithosphere and tectonic plates. When continental plates crumple and pushed forward to form one or more mountain ranges an orogen or orogenic belt develops, it involves many geological processes called orogenesis.

A rectangular coil of dimensions 5.40cm x 8.50cm consists of25 turns of wire. The coil carries a current of 15.0 mA.
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

(a) Magnetic moment will be 17.212\times 10^{-4}A-m^2

(b) Torque will be 6.024\times 10^{-4}N-m

Explanation:

We have given dimension of the rectangular 5.4 cm × 8.5 cm

So area of the rectangular coil A=5.4\times 8.5=45.9cm^2=45.9\times 10^{-4}m^2

Current is given as i=15mA=15\times 10^{-3}A

Number of turns N = 25

(A) We know that magnetic moment is given by magnetic\ moment=NiA=25\times 45.9\times 10^{-4}\times 15\times 10^{-3}=17.212\times 10^{-4}A-m^2

(b) Magnetic field is given as B = 0.350 T

We know that torque is given by \tau =BINA=0.350\times 15\times 10^{-3}\times 25\times 45.9\times 10^{-4}=6.024\times 10^{-4}N-m

What do we have seasons on earth
Goryan [66]

Because the Earth's axis is not "straight up and down" as we move
around the sun. 

So when we're on one side of the sun, the top pole leans slightly toward
the sun.  During that time the sun shines more directly on the top half
of the Earth, and less directly on the bottom half.  The people on the
top half see the sun higher in the sky, and their weather is warmer,
while the people on the bottom half see the sun lower in the sky, and
their weather is cooler.

Then, when we're on the other side of the sun, the top pole leans slightly
away from the sun.  During that time the sun shines more directly on the
bottom half of the Earth, and less directly on the top half.  The people on
the bottom half see the sun higher in the sky, and their weather is warmer,
while the people on the top half see the sun lower in the sky, and their
weather is cooler.

The Earth makes the complete trip around the sun in one year, so the
people on the Earth go through this cycle of higher/lower sun and
warmer/cooler weather every year.

A thin, metallic spherical shell of radius 0.347 m0.347 m has a total charge of 7.53×10−6 C7.53×10−6 C placed on it. A point cha
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

E = 12640.78 N/C

Explanation:

In order to calculate the electric field you can use the Gaussian theorem.

Thus, you have:

\Phi_E=\frac{Q}{\epsilon_o}

ФE: electric flux trough the Gaussian surface

Q: net charge inside the Gaussian surface

εo: dielectric permittivity of vacuum = 8.85*10^-12 C^2/Nm^2

If you take the Gaussian surface as a spherical surface, with radius r, the electric field is parallel to the surface anywhere. Then, you have:

\Phi_E=EA=E(4\pi r^2)=\frac{Q}{\epsilon_o}\\\\E=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_o r^2}

r can be taken as the distance in which you want to calculate the electric field, that is, 0.795m

Next, you replace the values of the parameters in the last expression, by taking into account that the net charge inside the Gaussian surface is:

Q=7.53*10^{-6}C+3.65*10^{-6}C=1.115*10^{-5}C

Finally, you obtain for E:

E=\frac{1.118*10^{-5}C}{4\pi (8.85*10^{-12C^2/Nm^2})(0.795m)^2}=12640.78\frac{N}{C}

hence, the electric field at 0.795m from the center of the spherical shell is 12640.78 N/C

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

the Hudson Bay was covered with alpine glaciers

Explanation:

During the last glacial period, large portions of North America were covered with ice. The majority of the ice was from the ice sheets that were covering Canada and the northern part of the United States, and the alpine glaciers on the mountain ranges. Hudson Bay was all frozen at this point of time. It was not covered with alpine glaciers though, instead it was covered with the ice of the extended ice sheets, with the ice cover reaching up to 2 km in thickness.

Which relations below regarding magnetic field and electric field lines are true? 1. Magnetic field lines never begin nor end bu
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Options 1 and 5 are correct

Explanation:

Magnetic field lines can never cross, the field is unique at any point in space. Magnetic field lines are continuous, forming closed loops without beginning or end. They go from the north pole to the south pole.

Magnetic field lines form closed loops but do not intersect.

Electric field lines originate at the positive charges and terminate at the negative charges. They move in a straight line and are parallel. Electric field lines neither form closed loops nor intersect.

Since, magnetic field lines form closed loops and move from North to South pole, they come out of north poles outside the magnet and into north poles inside the magnet, they also go into south poles outside the magnet and out of south poles inside the magnet.
