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>

irinina [24]
[:] Answer [:]

D) Temperature

You measure temperature with a thermometer. You can use it to measure you r temperature if you're sick, or you use it to measure the temperature outside. A, B, and C do not work with a thermometer. You would use a different device for those.

A cylindrical, 0.500-m rod has a diameter of 0.02 m. The rod is stretched to a length of 0.501 m by a force of 3000 N. What is t
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Y = 4.775 x 10⁹ Pa = 4.775 GPa

Explanation:

First, we calculate the stress on the rod:

stress = \frac{Force}{Area} = \frac{3000\ N}{\pi r^2}  \\\\stress = \frac{3000\ N}{\pi (0.01\ m)^2}\\\\stress = 9.55\ x\ 10^6\ Pa = 9.55 MPa\\

Now, we calculate the strain:

strain = \frac{Change\ in Length}{Original\ Length}\\\\strain = \frac{0.501\ m - 0.5\ m}{0.5\ m}\\\\strain =  0.002\\

Now, we will calculate the Young's Modulus (Y):

Y = \frac{stress}{strain}\\\\Y = \frac{9.55\ x\ 10^6\ Pa}{0.002} \\

<u>Y = 4.775 x 10⁹ Pa = 4.775 GPa</u>
