The formation of faults in Earth's crust is an effect. What causes faults to form in the crust? Global Positioning System sensor

allsm [11]

Answer: The movement of tectonic plates

Explanation:

Tectonic plates are the part of the earth's crust that both the ocean and land rest on. These plates are constantly moving as a result of currents in the mantle.

These movements cause stress on the surface which has the effect of fracturing rocks and thereby creating/ forming faults in the earth's crust. Sometimes faults form when these plates move away from each other and sometimes they are formed when they push into each other.

The fracture strength of glass may be increased by etching away a thin surface layer. It is believed that the etching may alter

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

the ratio of the etched to the original crack tip radius is 30.24

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we determine the initial fracture stress using the following expression;

(σf)₁ = 2(σ₀)₁ $[$ α₁/( $p_t$ )₁ $]^{1/2$ ----- let this be equation 1

where; (σ₀)₁ is the initial fracture strength

( $p_t$ )₁ is the original crack tip radius

α₁ is the original crack length.

first, we determine the final crack length;

α₂ = α₁ - 16% of α₁

α₂ = α₁ - ( 0.16 × α₁)

α₂ = α₁ - 0.16α₁

α₂ = 0.84α₁

next, we calculate the final fracture stress;

the fracture strength is increased by a factor of 6;

(σ₀)₂ = 6( σ₀ )₁

Now, expression for the final fracture stress

(σf)₂ = 2(σ₀)₂ $[$ α₂/( $p_t$ )₂ $]^{1/2$ ------- let this be equation 2

where ( $p_t$ )₂ is the etched crack tip radius

value of fracture stress of glass is constant

Now, we substitute 2(σ₀)₁ $[$ α₁/( $p_t$ )₁ $]^{1/2$ from equation for (σf)₂ in equation 2.

0.84α₁ for α₂.

6( σ₀ )₁ for (σ₀)₂.

∴

2(σ₀)₁ $[$ α₁/( $p_t$ )₁ $]^{1/2$ = 2(6( σ₀ )₁) $[$ 0.84α₁/( $p_t$ )₂ $]^{1/2$

divide both sides by 2(σ₀)₁

$[$ α₁/( $p_t$ )₁ $]^{1/2$ = 6 $[$ 0.84α₁/( $p_t$ )₂ $]^{1/2$

$[$ 1/( $p_t$ )₁ $]^{1/2$ = 6 $[$ 0.84/( $p_t$ )₂ $]^{1/2$

$[$ 1/( $p_t$ )₁ $]$ = 36 $[$ 0.84/( $p_t$ )₂ $]$

1 / ( $p_t$ )₁ = 30.24 / ( $p_t$ )₂

( $p_t$ )₂ = 30.24( $p_t$ )₁

( $p_t$ )₂/( $p_t$ )₁ = 30.24

Therefore, the ratio of the etched to the original crack tip radius is 30.24
