They provide evidence that movements of the crust are a result of slow moving currents in the mantle. Since earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are usually a result of stick-slip movements between 2 more plates and it is tension changes that are responsible for this sudden movement, the plates must be moving overtime or this tension would remain fairly constant.

Hello,

I would say nonrenewable, because it renews itself at a rate slower than the amount of human use or consumption, so it would be more difficult to obtain. Hope this helps!

mars1129 [50]

Acceleration is non zero but the velocity is zero.

Answer: Option 2.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Acceleration is the speed that an object gains with in a short period of time. In the language of Mechanics, Acceleration is the change in the velocities of the objects with respect to the time. So when a ball is thrown up in the air, there will be some acceleration and there will be some speed that the ball will gain when thrown up.

Velocity is the speed of an object but in a particular direction. Velocity of an object is the rate of change of the position of the object with respect to the frame of reference of that frame. So the velocity of the ball up in the air is zero.
