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!

In one cycle, a heat engine takes in 1000 J of heat from a high-temperature reservoir, releases 600 J of heat to a lower-tempera
Talja [164]

Answer:

η = 40 %  

Explanation:

Given that

Qa ,Heat addition= 1000  J

Qr,Heat rejection= 600 J

Work done ,W= 400 J

We know that ,efficiency of a engine given as

\eta=\dfrac{W(net)}{Q(heat\ addition)}

Now by putting the values in the above equation ,then we get

\eta=\dfrac{400}{1000}

η = 0.4

The efficiency in percentage is given as

η = 0.4  x 100 %

η = 40 %

Therefore the answer will be 40%.
