Answer: Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core. The plates act like a hard and rigid shell compared to Earth's mantle.
Explanation:
Plates interact at three types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent and transform. Most of the Earth's geologic activity takes place at plate boundaries.
Answer:
When a stone is going around a circular path, the instantaneous velocity of stone is acting as tangent to the circle. When the string breaks, the centripetal force stops to act. Due to inertia, the stone continues to move along the tangent to circular path.
At the interface of two fluids, there is a difference in pressure. This leads to the existence of a surface force, the surface tension, that shapes the fluid.
The surface tension of water is roughly 72 dynes/cm,
However, that is highly dependant on the characteristics of the considered material (physical and chemical), and thus all fluids (and thus liquids) do not have the same surface tension.
