Explain how these convection currents cause the crust of the Earth to move

Physics
1 answer:
sweet [91]3 years ago
3 0
<span> The crustal plates float on the mantle, convection currents within the mantle act as a current and the plates on top of the mantle simply get carried by that current. Hope this helped :)

A transformer with X turns in primary coil and Y turns in secondary coil is used to change the magnitude of voltage to 240 V. Ca
Vinil7 [7]

The input voltage is 120 V and the transformer is a step up transformer due to increase in the voltage induced in the secondary coil.

<h3>Input voltage </h3>

The input voltage of the transformer is the voltage of the primary coil and it is calculated as follows;

Ns/Np = Es/Ep

where;

  • Ns is the number of turn in the secondary coil
  • Np is the number of turn in the primary coil
  • Es is the secondary voltage
  • Ep is the primary voltage

2X/X = 240/Ep

2 = 240/Ep

Ep = 240/2

Ep = 120 V

Thus, the transformer is a step up transformer due to increase in the voltage induced in the secondary coil.

Explain how streams can erode soil and transport materials?
vladimir1956 [14]
The eroded rock and soil materials that are transported downstream by a river are called its load. A river transports, or carries, its load in three different ways: in solution, in suspension, and in its bed load. Mineral matter that has been dissolved from bedrock is carried in solution. Common minerals carried in solution by rivers include dissolved calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate. Most of a river’s solution load comes from groundwater seeping into the river. Before it reaches the stream,thegroundwaterhastraveledthroughfracturesinthebedrock, chemically eroding rock along the way. When river water looks muddy, it is carrying rock material in suspension. Suspended material includes clay, silt, and fine sand. Although these suspended materials are heavier than water, the turbulence of the stream flow stirs them up and keeps them from sinking. Turbulence includes swirls and eddies that form in water as a result of friction between the stream and its channel. The faster a stream flows, the more turbulent and muddy it becomes. A rough or irregular channel also increases turbulence. A river may also transport rock materials in its bed load. The bed load consists of sand, pebbles, and boulders that are too heavy to be carried in suspension. These heavier materials are moved along the streambed, especially during floods. Boulders and pebbles roll or slide along the river bed. Large sand grains are pushed along the bottom in a series of jumps and bounces. The relative amounts of a river’s load that are carried in solution, in suspension, and in the bed load depend on the nature of the river, the climate, the type of bedrock, and the season of the year. As a general rule, most of the load carried by the world’s streams and rivers is carried in suspension. The size of a river’s suspended load increases with human land use. Road and building construction and removal of vegetation make it easier for rain to wash sediment into streams and rivers.

Define second class lever​
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Please find detailed explanation of second class levers below

Explanation:

Levers are one of the classes of machine that possesses three levels namely: first class, second class and third claas. A second class lever is the level of levers in which the load (L) is in between the pivot (F) and the effort (E).

Examples of second class levers include; wheelbarrow, a bottle opener etc. In the bottle opener for example, the bottle lid (load) is in between the pivot of the opener and the hand opening it (effort).
