At diverging plate boundaries, earthquakes occur as the plates pull away from each other. Volcanoes also form as magma rises upward from the underlying mantle along the gap between the two plates. We almost never see these volcanoes, because most of them are located on the sea floor.

Summarize Isaac Newton's law of gravity
tankabanditka [31]
Newton's law of gravity defines the attractive force between all objects that possess mass. Understanding the law of gravity offers profound insights into the way our universe functions. Newton, upon observing an apple fall from a tree, began to think along the following lines: The apple is accelerated, since its velocity changes from zero as it is hanging on the tree and moves toward the ground. Thus, by Newton's 2nd Law there must be a force that acts on the apple to cause this acceleration. Let's call this force "gravity", and the associated acceleration the "acceleration due to gravity". Then imagine the apple tree is twice as high. Again, we expect the apple to be accelerated toward the ground, so this suggests that this force that we call gravity reaches to the top of the tallest apple tree. <span>Newton knew that the force which caused the apple's acceleration (gravity) must be dependent upon the mass of the apple. And since the force acting to cause the apple's downward acceleration also causes the earth's upward acceleration (Newton's third law), that force must also depend upon the mass of the earth. </span>

Zoe read that drinking water from a faucet instead of from a plastic bottle helps overcome a disadvantage of using nonrenewable
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Plastic is made from petroleum oil.

Explanation:

A faucet can simply be described as a tap or valve through which the releasing of a certain liquid can be controlled. Whereas a plastic is made from non-renewable resources such as petroleum oil. Also, the plastic cannot be properly degraded from the Earth after using it. Hence, drinking water from a faucet is more beneficial then drinking water from plastic bottles.
