Harrizon [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Convergent or Divergent boundaries

Explanation:

Divergent boundaries occur along spreading centers where plates are moving apart and new crust is created by magma pushing up from the mantle. Picture two giant conveyor belts, facing each other but slowly moving in opposite directions as they transport newly formed oceanic crust away from the ridge crest.

<h2>Answer: B. Gravitational potential energy </h2>

Explanation:

<em>The gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field. </em>

That is why this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.

In the case of the <u>Earth</u>, in which  <u>the gravitational field is considered constant</u>, the value of the gravitational potential energy U_{p} will be:

U_{p}=mgh  

Where m is the mass of the object, g the acceleration due gravity and h the height of the object.

As we can see, the value of U_{p} is directly proportional to the height.

Differences in ocean-surface height can be measured by _____.\
bonufazy [111]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Satellite

Differences in ocean-surface height can be measured by<u> Satellite</u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The topography of the ocean or the height of the ocean surface relative to a level of no motion provides the information on tides, and the distribution of heat and mass in the Earths's oceans.
  • <em><u>The ocean topography is measured using satellites altimeter. Satellites use radar altimeters that are specially made to measure the height of the ocean surface.  The satellites measure the height of the ocean surface with an accuracy of 3 cm relative to the center of the earth.</u></em>
  • Satellite altimeter combines precise orbit determination with accurate ranging by a microwave altimeter of ocean distance to the satellite.
