Why do volcanoes form above subduction zones

Physics
1 answer:
Xelga [282]4 years ago
5 0
Volcanoes form above subduction zones because Subduction zone volcanism occurs where two plates are converging on one another. One plate containing oceanic lithosphere descends beneath the adjacent plate, thus consuming the oceanic lithosphere into the earth's mantle. This on-going process is called subduction.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

13 blocks

Explanation:

The total distance the student travels is 13 blocks.

 Distance is the length of path covered during the motion of a body.

 To find distance:

 Total distance  = Number of blocks to the west + number of blocks to the north + number of blocks to the east

 Total distance  = 3blocks + 4blocks + 6blocks  = 13blocks

A plane is heading south with a velocity of 150 kilometers/hour. It experiences a tallwind with a velocity of 20 kilometers/hour
pogonyaev

Answer: 170km/hr to the South

Explanation:

The resultant velocity of the plane ilwill be gotten by adding the value of the velocities of the plane with the tallwind. It should be noted that the direction of the wind is.takwn into consideration.

Therefore, the resultant velocity of the plane will be:

= 20km/hr + 150km/hr

= 170km/hr to the South

A car moving at some speed hits the brakes and skids to a stop after 13 m on a level road. If the coefficient of friction for th
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

12.974 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

\mu = Coefficient of friction =0.66

a = Acceleration = \mu g

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2\mu gs-v^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{v^2-2\mu gs}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{0^2-2\times -(9.81\times 0.66)\times 13}\\\Rightarrow u=12.974\ m/s

Car's original speed before braking was 12.974 m/s

Choose if the quantity indicated is a vector or a scalar. Quantity: the number of coins in a piggy bank Type of quantity:
Kitty [74]
Vector quantities are always defined by magnitude and its direction.
Here, to define number of coins in a piggy bank, we don't need direction. Hence it is a scalar quantity.
