Answer:

The theory of plate tectonics describes the movement of the plates across the Earth's lithosphere (the crust and upper mantle) through immense periods of time. Earth's litoshphere is composed of 7 (or 8, depending on how they are defined) major plates and many more minor plates.

The movement is attributed to different phenomena stemming from Earth's rotation, gravity, and mantle dynamics. All of these forces play a role in influencing the size, shape, and positioning of the different landmasses that currently shape our continents and islands.

Explanation:

In a nutshell, land originated from magma in the Earth's core escaping through the cracks and making its way to the ocean. The water cooled down the magma and this process created all of the land both above and below the sea. The landforms that we see all around the Earth today were formed thanks to collisions and separations of the plates thoughout billions of years.

Answer:

Earth's plates are SLOWLY moving. More than 300 million years ago, The continent, Pangea. Then a few million years later the continent split more and more until we had The Continents we have today.

vovikov84 [41]
<span>The speed of the roller coaster when it has to start a similar identical hill the speed would be exactly the same that is 6.0 m/s. And the fact that there is an absence of both friction and air resistance helps us get to this conclusion that it is same as in the previous case.</span>

Answer:

C) Amplitude.

Explanation:

By definition, the amplitude of wave is defined as the distance from the rest position to the highest or lowest point of the wave.

The highest and lowest points of the wave are called crests and troughs respectively; Therefore, the amplitude of the waves is also said to be the height of the wave from its rest position to its crest—and also the height of the from the rest position it its trough.

This means Choice C (amplitude) is the correct term used to describe the height of a wave from its rest position to its crest.

<em>P.S: Choice A, the crest height, can also be the correct term, but the term ''amplitude'' is often used and is more technical. </em>

An object has one force acting on it. it is a 33-newton force pointing downward. to create a net force of zero on the object, wh
Alex_Xolod [135]

For this case, the first thing we are going to do is define a reference system.

We define the vertical axis of the reference system, pointing upwards.

Therefore, doing summation of forces in vertical direction we have:

Fy = F - 33

Then, since we want the net force to be equal to zero, then:

F - 33 = 0

From here, we clear the force that we must apply on the object:

F = 33

The positive sign means that the force points upwards.

Answer:

to create a net force of zero on the object you must apply:

33 Newton upwards.
