What type of plate boundary decreases the amount of the Earth's crust?

Physics
1 answer:
rosijanka [135]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Convergent.

Explanation:

Just as oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges, it is destroyed in subduction zones. Subduction is the important geologic process in which a tectonic plate made of dense lithospheric material melts or falls below a plate made of less-dense lithosphere at a convergent plate boundary.

Suppose an electrical wire is replaced with one having every linear dimension doubled (i.e. the length and radius have twice the
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The wire now has less (the half resistance) than before.

Explanation:

The resistance in a wire is calculated as:

R=\alpha \frac{l}{s}

Were:

R is resistance

\alpha is the resistance coefficient

l is the length of the material

s is the area of the transversal wire, in the case of wire will be circular area (s=\pi r^{2}).

So if the lenght and radius are doubled, the equation goes as follows:

R=\alpha \frac{l}{\pi r^{2} } =\alpha \frac{2l}{\pi {(2r)}^{2} } =\alpha \frac{2l}{\pi 4 {r}^{2} }=\frac{1}{2} \alpha \frac{l}{\pi r^{2} }

So finally because the circular area is a square function, the resulting equation is half of the one before.
