K.E = 1/2*m*v^2 = 1/2(500)(3)^2 = 2250 J
m*g*h = 500(9.8)(30) = 147000 J
2250 + 147000 = 149250
The correct answer is:
c. convection.
The heating of magma and the continuous cycle of evolution of the magma creating a convection current is the reason for the evolution of Earths tectonic plates.
Explanation:
Tectonic plates are ready to move because the Earth's lithosphere has higher strength than the underlying asthenosphere. Lateral density changes in the mantle appear in convection. Plate movement is believed to be driven by a succession of the motion of the seafloor apart from the extended ridge (due to variations in topography and density of the crust.
The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth's structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below. Although the rocks of the lithosphere are still considered elastic, they are not viscous
Answer:
Too old(Ex. if real time is 1000 then they estimate >1000)
Explanation:
This is because with time our planet may have a definite function which describes temperature.(Because of all the factors and global warming except nuclear bomb testing)
Now nuclear test on planet have significant effect on temperature rise.
Also 14°C rise in temperature is good one because of this.
If future archaeologists only consider that uniform function as above mentioned then they estimate more time then the real one.
Thus too old is right answer.
