The plates beneath the Earth's surface are moving and also colliding with one another. These collisions cause compression of the rocks, resulting in the production of stress. Faults form and spread when the rocks can be compressed no more and they "break". This breakage releases energy and the energy is felt as seismic waves in an earthquake. <span />

A tall, open container is full of glycerine. At what depth h below the surface of the glycerine is the pressure 2370 Pa greater
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

So, at the depth of 24 cm below the surface of the glycerine the pressure is  2970 Pa. Hence, this is the required solution.

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure exerted by the surface of glycerine, P = 2970 Pa and it is greater than atmospheric pressure.

The density of glycerine,  

We need to find the depth h below the surface of the glycerine. The pressure due to some depth is given by :

h = 0.24 meters

or

h = 24 cm
