Which expression gives the length of JK in the triangle shown below?
Ann [662]
Perimeter = 3x. Area = x^2 * sqrt(3)/4. Explanation of area:. You can divide an equilateral triangle into 2 right triangles, each with a common side we will call y.. Area = area of first right triangle + area of second right triangle = (x/2)*y/2 + (x/2)*y/2 = xy/2. Now: y^2 + (x/2)^2 = x^2 so y…

Both clockwise and counterclockwise spiraled snail fossils have been found in bedrock.In a slab of rock that contains many fossi
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

As Snail is a land species, they for about 2-3 years, based on there calcium carbonate shells it can be concluded that they form in tropics.

Explanation:

  • When looking at the slabs or the plate from both the clockwise and counterclockwise, spiraled snails fossils are usually in the spiral forms and the bedrocks that may have collected their imprints from the sediments deposited in the geologic formation of the earth.
  • The slabs of rock are hence evidence of the tropical climates and their creation is a due result of their shells that were deposited in the large tract of rocks when the uplifting of landmasses and the volcanic events take place.
  • Geologists use carbon-14 dating technology of the rocks estimate that their formation which hence is impacted due to the climatic region dominating the tropical oceans and lands is suited to the formation of these small creatures that their existence on the calcium carbonates creates this evidence.

Earthquake magnitude is strongly influenced by the?
labwork [276]

earthquake magnitude is strongly influenced by where area is the portion of the fault that slipped, rigidity is the strength of the rock along the fault, and slip is the distance the fault moved. Therefore, a bigger magnitude will result from stronger rock material, a larger region, or more seismic movement.

What are the main causes of earthquake?

The majority of crustal faults on Earth don't shift for a very long period. But occasionally, tectonic pressures cause the rock on either side of a fault to gradually deform over time. Earthquakes typically result from subsurface rock breaking unexpectedly and rapid movement along a fault. The seismic waves that cause the ground to tremble are brought on by this quick release of energy.

The plates or rock blocks begin to move during and after the earthquake, and they keep moving until they become trapped once more. The focus or hypocenter of an earthquake is the location underground where the first rock splits. The epicenter of an earthquake is the location directly above the focus (at the ground surface).
