Why do volcanoes form above subduction zones

Physics
1 answer:
Xelga [282]3 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.

Leokris [45]
Equation for ke = 1/2mv^2
1) ke = 1/2 x 5000 x (2x2)
= 10,000J
2) ke = 1/2 x 4000 x (3x3)
= 18,000J
So Object 2 has more Kinetic Energy

A camera lens focuses on an object 75.0 cm from the lensThe image forms 3.50 cm behind the lens. What is the magnification of th
N76 [4]

Answer:

7/150

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Object distance (u) = 75cm

Image distance (v) = 3.5cm

Magnification (M) =..?

Magnification is simply defined as:

Magnification (M) = Image distance (v)/ object distance (u)

M = v /u

With the above formula, we can obtain the magnification of the image as follow:

M = v/u

M = 3.5/75

M = 7/150

Therefore, the magnification of the image is 7/150.
