These are all caused by tectonic plate movements. Some areas of the globe are more susceptible to these disasters because they are on or near a fault line where the Earth’s tectonic plates rub against one another, slip beside and under each other, or collide. The places near fault lines are more likely to see earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity.

For this problem, let's use the approach of dimensional analysis. This technique is done by cancelling out like units that appear both on the numerator and the denominator side. As a result, this technique will let you know that your final answer conforms to what parameter is asked. In this case, the final answer should be in kJ. We use the conversion: 1000 cal = 4.184 kJ The solution is as follows:

<span>6.95×10</span>⁵<span> cal * 4.184 kJ/1000 cal = 2,907.88 kJ</span>

Use your calculator to evaluate -3.7 meter/second-13.9 meter/second 21.4 second-72 second
cluponka [151]

Answer :

(-3.7 meter/second) - (13.9 meter/second) = -17.6 meter/second

(21.4 second) - (72 second) = -50.6 second

Explanation :

(1) As we are given the expression :

(-3.7 meter/second) - (13.9 meter/second)

Now we have to evaluate this expression, we get:

⇒ -17.6 meter/second

(2) As we are given the expression :

(21.4 second) - (72 second)

Now we have to evaluate this expression, we get:

⇒ -50.6 second

Which observation would be evidence that heat was transferred by radiation
Masteriza [31]
Radiation is a type of heat transfer wherein there is no need for medium or media through which the heat will flow. Consequently, the radiation waves are able to travel through vacuum. The best observation as evidence to conclude that heat is indeed transferred by radiation is the increase of temperature of the receiving body.
