What is one way that continental rifts are similar to mid-ocean ridges and what is one that they are different?
adell [148]

Explanation:

Continental rifts and mid-ocean ridges are both features of a divergent plate margin.

In both cases plates are moving away from one another. Therefore they are creating new land masses.

  • A continental drift like the east African rift valley is where a continent begins to pull apart or diverges.
  • A mid-ocean ridge is divergent margin in the ocean.

They are different in that, continental rift occurs within the continental plate that are on land.

But:

 Mid-ocean ridges are in the oceanic crust in the ocean . They form the largest physiographic structure on the earth surface called the mid-ocean ridge.

If the mass of a pendulum is increased (with other factors controller), would the period (time) decrease or stay the same?
Akimi4 [234]
The period of the pendulum depends only on the length from the pivot to the "center of mass". So if the string has no mass, then the amount of mass on the end doesn't make any difference.
But if the pendulum is suspended on, say, a chain with mass, then the more mass on the bottom, the lower the center of mass is, and the longer the period is.

In 1929 Edwin Hubble used a telescope to discover the movement of galaxies. True or false
larisa86 [58]

Explanation :

Edwin Hubble used a telescope to discover the movement of galaxies in 1929. He was an American Astronomer.

The telescope invented by him is called a Hubble telescope. It has a 2.4-meter mirror.

He gives the relation between the distance to a galaxy and its recessional velocity. This is known as the Hubble law. The relation is as follows :

v=H_0\ r

where,

v is recessional velocity.

H_0 is Hubble constant.

r is distance.

<em>So, the given statement is True.</em>

The wave frequency is a measure of
Rashid [163]

Answer: hertz

Explanation:

Wavelength is also measured in metres ( ) - it is a length after all. The frequency ( ) of a wave is the number of waves passing a point in a certain time. We normally use a time of one second, so this gives frequency the unit hertz ( ), since one hertz is equal to one wave per second.
