What causes hot spot volcanoes to form?

Physics
1 answer:
den301095 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A volcanic "hotspot" is an area in the mantle from which heat rises as a thermal plume from deep in the Earth. High heat and lower pressure at the base of the lithosphere (tectonic plate) facilitates melting of the rock. This melt, called magma, rises through cracks and erupts to form volcanoes.

What happens to the particles of the liquid inside a thermometer when the thermometer is heated?
aev [14]
The particles of the liquid inside a thermometer speed up and spread apart when the thermometer is heated. In short, the particles expand from one another when they're heated, and become condensed and compact when chilled.

A calorimeter directly measures ______ in order to calculate ______. (1 point)
Aneli [31]

The complete sentence is:

A calorimeter directly measures changes in temperature in order to calculate specific heat.

In fact, the amount of energy acquired/released by a substance is directly proportional to its change in temperature due to the equation

Q=mC_s \Delta T

where Q is the amount of energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cs is the specific heat of the substance and \Delta T is the change in temperature. Therefore, by knowing Q, m and by measuring the change in temperature, it is possible to calculate Cs, the specific heat capacity of the substance.

Europa, a satellite of Jupiter, is believed to have a liquid ocean of water (with a possibility of life) beneath its icy surface
Goryan [66]

Answer:

so maximum velocity for walk on the surface of europa is  0.950999 m/s

Explanation:

Given data

legs of length r =  0.68 m

diameter = 3100 km

mass = 4.8×10^22 kg

to find out

maximum velocity for walk on the surface of europa

solution

first we calculate radius that is

radius = d/2 = 3100 /2 = 1550 km

radius = 1550 × 10³ m

so we calculate no maximum velocity that is

max velocity = √(gr)    ...............1

here r is length of leg

we know g = GM/r²   from universal gravitational law

so G we know 6.67 × 10^{-11} N-m²/kg²

g = 6.67 × 10^{-11} ( 4.8×10^22 ) / ( 1550 × 10³ )

g = 1.33 m/s²

now

we put all value in equation 1

max velocity = √(1.33 × 0.68)

max velocity = 0.950999 m/s

so maximum velocity for walk on the surface of europa is  0.950999 m/s
