How does the movement of tectonic plates cause deformation in rocks

Physics
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]3 years ago
4 0
The movement of tectonic plates causes earthquakes when two plates that are in contact with each other move in opposite directions and release built-up stress.<span>For example, one plate may move north, while the other may move south. Stress can build up to a significant amount while the plates are held stationary, but trying to move, which can then be released as an earthquake</span>

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Decreases by $3.6 \times 10^{-3}$ times

Explanation:

The intensity of a sound is defined as the energy of the sound that is flowing in an unit time through the unit area which is in the direction that is perpendicular to the direction of the sound waves movement.

The intensity of energy is described by the inverse square law. It states that the intensity varies inversely with the distance square of the distance.

In other words, the sound intensity decreases as inversely proportional to the squared of the distance.  i.e. $\frac{1}{r^2}$

In the context when the distance was 3 m, the intensity of the sound was = $\frac{1}{9}$

But when the distance became 6 cm or 0.06 m, the sound intensity decreases by =  $\frac{1}{0.06^2}$

                       = $3.6 \times 10^{-3}$ times

Explain why the same side of the moon is always facing Earth.
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The moon keeps the same face pointing towards the Earth because its rate of spin is tidally locked so that it is synchronized with its rate of revolution (the time needed to complete one orbit). In other words, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.

A circular radar antenna on a Coast Guard ship has a diameter of 2.10 m and radiates at a frequency of 16.0 GHz. Two small boats
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

d = 76.5 m

Explanation:

To find the distance at which the boats will be detected as two objects, we need to use the following equation:

\theta = \frac{1.22 \lambda}{D} = \frac{d}{L}

<u>Where:</u>

θ: is the angle of resolution of a circular aperture

λ: is the wavelength

D: is the diameter of the antenna = 2.10 m

d: is the separation of the two boats = ?

L: is the distance of the two boats from the ship = 7.00 km = 7000 m

To find λ we can use the following equation:

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

<u>Where:</u>

c: is the speed of light = 3.00x10⁸ m/s

f: is the frequency = 16.0 GHz = 16.0x10⁹ Hz

\lambda = \frac{c}{f} = \frac{3.00 \cdot 10^{8} m/s}{16.0 \cdot 10^{9} s^{-1}} = 0.0188 m            

Hence, the distance is:

d = \frac{1.22 \lambda L}{D} = \frac{1.22*0.0188 m*7000 m}{2.10 m} = 76.5 m

Therefore, the boats could be at 76.5 m close together to be detected as two objects.

 

I hope it helps you!
