How far do tectonic plates move in a year

Physics
1 answer:
Vladimir [108]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

About 4-10cm/yr

Explanation:

Plates have different motion due to the tectonic settings and the properties of the plates.

Tectonic plates typically move very slowly over the weak asthenosphere in the mantle. This accounts for the wide range of about 4-10cm/yr. Some plates moves slower than this. It is difficult to perceive plate movement using our observational senses.

Scientists use GPS units and satellites to monitor the rate of movement of plates in a year to as to forecast a whole lot of environmental event that might  result from that.

Hello! The nontoxic, nonflammable chemicals containing atoms of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine that have created a hole in the ozone layer are the Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

These are compounds developed and improved by Thomas Midgley in the late 1920s. They were used as refrigerants and aerosol propellants.

These compounds created a hole in the ozone layer by the following reactions:

CCl₃F → CCl₂F· + Cl· (In the presence of light. Radical Reaction)
Cl· + O₃ → ClO + O₂
ClO + O₃ → Cl· + O₂ 

The last 2 reactions can repeat in a radical mechanism and explain why these compounds are so harmful to the ozone layer.
