Mountain ranges and belts are built through the process called what

Physics

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.

What is one way that continental rifts are similar to mid-ocean ridges and what is one that they are different?
adell [148]

Explanation:

Continental rifts and mid-ocean ridges are both features of a divergent plate margin.

In both cases plates are moving away from one another. Therefore they are creating new land masses.

  • A continental drift like the east African rift valley is where a continent begins to pull apart or diverges.
  • A mid-ocean ridge is divergent margin in the ocean.

They are different in that, continental rift occurs within the continental plate that are on land.

But:

 Mid-ocean ridges are in the oceanic crust in the ocean . They form the largest physiographic structure on the earth surface called the mid-ocean ridge.

A simple pendulum consists of a ball connected to one end of a thin brass wire. The period of the pendulum "is 2.51 s". The temp
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

0.0034 sec

Explanation:

L = initial length

T = initial time period = 2.51 s

Time period is given as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

2.51 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8}}

L = 1.56392 m

L' = new length

ΔT = Rise in temperature = 142 °C

α = coefficient of linear expansion = 19 x 10⁻⁶ °C

New length due to rise of temperature is given as

L' = L + LαΔT

L' = 1.56392 + (1.56392) (19 x 10⁻⁶) (142)

L' = 1.56814 m

T' = New time period

New time period is given as

T' = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L'}{g}}

T' = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{1.56814}{9.8}}

T' = 2.5134 sec

Change in time period is given as

ΔT = T' - T

ΔT = 2.5134 - 2.51

ΔT = 0.0034 sec

A spring with spring constant 15.5 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A ball is suspended from the spring and allowed to come to rest.
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

A) 138.8g

B)73.97 cm/s

Explanation:

K = 15.5 Kn/m

A = 7 cm

N = 37 oscillations

tn = 20 seconds

A) In harmonic motion, we know that;

ω² = k/m and m = k/ω²

Also, angular frequency (ω) = 2π/T

Now, T is the time it takes to complete one oscillation.

So from the question, we can calculate T as;

T = 22/37.

Thus ;

ω = 2π/(22/37) = 10.5672

So,mass of ball (m) = k/ω² = 15.5/10.5672² = 0.1388kg or 138.8g

B) In simple harmonic motion, velocity is given as;

v(t) = vmax Sin (ωt + Φ)

It is from the derivative of;

v(t) = -Aω Sin (ωt + Φ)

So comparing the two equations of v(t), we can see that ;

vmax = Aω

Vmax = 7 x 10.5672 = 73.97 cm/s
