Seafloor spreading is a geologic process in which tectonic plates—large slabs of Earth's lithosphere—split apart from each other.
Answer:
1)Fuel Sourcing
2)Power Generation
Explanation:
1)Fuel Sourcing
: Fossil fuels must be located, excavated and transported before they can be used. These processes are invasive and detrimental to the land through side effects such as erosion as well as ecological and geologic instability. Then the deposit or well is depleted. Energy from the sun is infinite and free. It can be harnessed and turned into power anywhere a solar panel can be mounted.
2)Power Generation:
Fossil fuels must be burned to produce electricity. Burning them creates unwanted byproducts that can create air and water pollution and release huge amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.
Answer:
(a) 3.44 x 10^-3 m^3/s
(b) 8.4 m/s
Explanation:
area of water line, A = 5.29 x 10^-3 m
number of holes, N = 15
Speed of water in line, V = 0.651 m/s
(a) Volume flow rate is given by
V = area of water line x speed of water in water line
V = 5.29 x 10^-3 x 0.651 = 3.44 x 10^-3 m^3/s
(b) area of one hole, a = 4.13 x 10^-4 m
Let v be the velocity of water in each hole
According to the equation of continuity
A x V = a x v
5.29 x 10^-3 x 0.651 = 4.1 x 10^-4 x v
v = 8.4 m/s
