How does the movement of tectonic plates cause deformation in rocks

1 answer:

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>

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:

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