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.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of asteroid = 4/3 x π x 160³

= 17.15 x 10⁶

mass = volume x density

= 17.15 x 10⁶ x 2600

= 445.9 x 10⁸ kg

kinetic energy

= 1/2 x 445.9 x 10⁸  x( 12.6 )² x 10⁶

= 35.4 x 10¹⁷ J .

2 )

energy of 15 megaton

= 4.184 x 10¹⁵ x 15 J

= 62.76 x 10¹⁵ J

No of bombs required

= 35.4 x 10¹⁷ / 62.76 x 10¹⁵

= 56.4 Bombs .

Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere A carries a charge of 9q. Sphere B carries a charge of -q. Sphere C
Leona [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

A and B are touched .

charge on each of them after touching = (9q - q) / 2 = 4q

when C is touched with A

charge on A and C each after touching

= 4q + 0 / 2 = 2q

When C is touched with B

charge on each of them

(2q + 4q ) / 2 = 3 q

Final charge on C = 3q
