The theory of plate tectonics states that the earth's crust is separated into plates that float on the semi molten mantle below. Mountain ranges are formed at convergent plate margins where an oceanic plate subducts beneath a Continental plate. The continuous compression over time cause the rocks to be faulted and folded upwards into ranges. The Andes was formed in this way.

Continental plates also collide. When this happens no plate subducts instead they are both folded and faulted upwards. The Himalayan mountain range was formed this way.

When the two plates converge or collide they start to build pressure and slowly they lift up and create mountains

A kite 100 ft above the ground moves horizontally at a speed of 12 ft/s. at what rate is the angle (in radians) between the stri
Viefleur [7K]
<span>Answer: So this involves right triangles. The height is always 100. Let the horizontal be x and the length of string be z. So we have x2 + 1002 = z2. Now take its derivative in terms of time to get 2x(dx/dt) = 2z(dz/dt) So at your specific moment z = 200, x = 100âš3 and dx/dt = +8 substituting, that makes dz/dt = 800âš3 / 200 or 4âš3. Part 2 sin a = 100/z = 100 z-1 . Now take the derivative in terms of t to get cos a (da./dt) = -100/ z2 (dz/dt) So we know z = 200, which makes this a 30-60-90 triangle, therefore a=30 degrees or Ď€/6 radians. Substitute to get cos (Ď€/6)(da/dt) = (-100/ 40000)(4âš3) âš3 / 2 (da/dt) = -âš3 / 100 da/dt = -1/50 radians</span>

PLS HELP ME!!! Explain frame of reference. How is it different when you are riding inside a car or standing by the highway?
RSB [31]

Answer:

So when you are riding in a car everything you see is from the cars frame. Where if you are standing by the highway it is from your point of view.

Explanation:

So lets say someone sees a apple core outside the bus it looks like the apple is traveling the opposite way of the bus but to the man standing by the highway would say it is stationary.

What do u mean by free fall?​
Degger [83]

Answer:

Any motion of a body in which gravity is the sole force acting on it is known as free fall. A body in free fall has no force acting on it under general relativity, where gravity is reduced to space-time curvature.

What happens to atoms as you move across the periods on the periodic table?
Alex_Xolod [135]
As you move across a period, the atomic mass increases because the atomic number also increases. When the atomic number increases, this means that there are more protons and neutrons that add to the atomic mass of an atom
