Answer: <u>In a divergent plate boundary</u>, seafloor spreading taking place. It leads to the formation of oceans as new materials are added here along the mid-oceanic ridge. There occur volcanism and shallow-focus earthquakes.

<u>In a convergent plate boundary</u>, two plates collide to form high mountain belts and also volcanic eruptions take place. There occur long chains of volcanic as well as island arcs, in association with deep-focus earthquakes.

<u>In a transform plate boundary</u>, two plates slide past each other, conserving the plates. Shallow-focus earthquakes are generated here.

The earth has experienced various geological processes, such as weathering and erosion of rocks, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, mass extinction events, plate tectonic movements and many more. These continuous processes have configured the present shape of the earth's surface.

For example, the breaking up of the supercontinent Pangea divided into Laurasia and Gondwanaland and subsequently formed the present scenario. This separation of continents has taken place due to the convection current that generates in the mantle.

you weight 650 N. What would you wieght if the Earth were four times as massive as it is and its raduis were three times its pre
LiRa [457]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept given by the law of gravitational attraction, which properly defines gravity under the function

g = \frac{GM}{r^2}

Here,

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of Earth

r = Distance between the human and the center of mass of the Earth

The acceleration due to gravity when is 4 times the mass of Earth and 3 times the radius would be given as,

g_1 = \frac{GM}{r^2}

g_2 = \frac{G(4M)}{(3r)^2}

g_2 = \frac{4GM}{9r^2}

g_2 = \frac{4}{9} g_1

The weight is defined as

W = mg_1

So the new weight would be given as

W' = mg_2

W' = m(\frac{4}{9} g_1 )

W' = \frac{4}{9} mg_1

W' = \frac{4}{9} W

W' = \frac{4}{9}(650)

W' = 288.8N

Therefore the weight under this condition is 288.8N

A horn on a boat sounds a warning, and the sound penetrates the water. How does the frequency of the sound in the air compare to
Illusion [34]
<span>Sound travels faster in water than in air because water has closer particles than in air. This means that the wavelength of sound in water is larger and longer. and its frequency is lower than the sound as heard in the air.</span>

You are driving at 90 km/h. How many meters are you covering per second?
andreev551 [17]
This question wants a conversion 
90km = 90000m
1hr = 3600 seconds
90000m/3600s= 900/36
= 25m/s
