Answer:

Plate tectonics are responsible for the following events by:-

Explanation:

Plate tectonics are parts of the crust which is moved by the mantle of the Earth.

The Crust is divided into parts called "Tectonic Plates"!

When tectonic plates move they cause some sorts of anomalies, and some of those anomalies are the ones in the question.

When there are two tectonic plates move towards each other, they form mountains, or when wo tectonic plates move away from each other, they cause the sea floor to expand!

Sometimes, they can cause dangerous accidents because of the vibration of the tectonic plates. These vibrations can cause volcanic eruption and tsunamis and Earth quakes.

When these volcanic eruptions occur, they can form underwater volcanoes, and make new islands, which can lead to continent formation!

I hope this answer helps, and I also hope this answer is what you are looking for!

Can anyone help me to explain theory of relativity??? ​
OLga [1]

Answer:

The theory of relativity usually encompasses two interrelated theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity, proposed and published in 1905 and 1915, respectively. Special relativity applies to all physical phenomena in the absence of gravity. General relativity explains the law of gravitation and its relation to other forces of nature.It applies to the cosmological and astrophysical realm, including astronomy.

The theory transformed theoretical physics and astronomy during the 20th century, superseding a 200-year-old theory of mechanics created primarily by Isaac Newton. It introduced concepts including spacetime as a unified entity of space and time, relativity of simultaneity, kinematic and gravitational time dilation, and length contraction. In the field of physics, relativity improved the science of elementary particles and their fundamental interactions, along with ushering in the nuclear age. With relativity, cosmology and astrophysics predicted extraordinary astronomical phenomena such as neutron stars, black holes, and gravitational waves

The net external force on a golf cart is 411 N north of tha cart has a total mass of 281 kg what is tha cart acceleration
Alisiya [41]

1.46m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of cart = 281kg

Net external force = 411N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the cart = ?

Solution:

According to newton's second law " the net force on a car is the product of its mass and acceleration";

            Force = mass x acceleration

Since acceleration of the cart is unknown;

     Acceleration = \frac{force}{mass} = \frac{411}{281}

  Acceleration = 1.46m/s²
