I am not sure if this is the answer you are looking for but a earthquake occurs when the plates shift. 
Hope this helped.

Calculate the angle for the third-order maximum of 580-nm wavelength yellow light falling on double slits separated by 0.100 mm.
alekssr [168]

<u>Answer:</u> The angle of diffraction is 0.498°

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the angle of diffraction, we use the equation given by Bragg, which is:

n\lambda =2d\sin \theta

where,  

n = order of diffraction = 3

\lambda = wavelength of the light = 580nm=5.80\times 10^{-7}m    (Conversion factor:  1m=10^{9}nm )

d = spacing between the crystal planes = 0.100 mm = 1.0\times 10^{-4}       (Conversion factor:  1 m = 1000 mm)

\theta = angle of diffraction = ?

Putting values in above equation:

3\times 5.80\times 10^{-7}=2\times 1.00\times 10^{-4}\sin \theta\\\\\sin \theta = 0.0087\\\\\theta=\sin ^{-1} (0.0087)=0.498

Hence, the angle of diffraction is 0.498°

Adding heat to a liquid causes which of the following physical changes?
SashulF [63]

In almost every case in nature, adding heat to a liquid
causes the density of the liquid to decrease.  That is,
when the liquid gets warmer, it expands and occupies
more space.

The one big exception to this rule is water ! 

Starting with a block of ice at zero°C (32°F), as the ice melts,
becomes water at zero°C, and all the way to 4°C (about 39°F),
its density increases all the way.   That is, it shrinks and occupies
less
volume as it goes from ice at zero°C to water at 4°C.

This sounds like an interesting but insignificant quirk ... until
you realize that if water didn't do this, then life on Earth would
be impossible !
