What do you think a divergent (constructive) boundary is? How do plates interact with each other?

Physics

skad [1K]3 years ago

Answer:Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys. Tectonic plates can interact in one of three ways. They can move toward one another, or converge; move away from one another, or diverge; or slide past one another, a movement known as transform motion. All plate margins along which plate movement is occurring have one thing in common—earthquakes.

Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys. These are also known as constructive boundaries. ... This causes the oceanic plate to buckle and usually results in a new mid-ocean ridge forming and turning the obduction into subduction.


Hope this helps.

Formula for the distance (d) is given by d = rate*time. For example if you are traveling at 60 mph for 3 hours the distance trav
babunello [35]

Explanation:

Distance covered by the particle is given by:

Distance (d) = rate (v) × time (t)                

Speed of Mary, v₁ = 50 mph

Speed of Jim, v₂ = 60 mph

It is assumed that, Mary and Jim leave at the same time. After one hour, Jim is 10 miles ahead.

Distance travelled by Jim, d₁ = (60t + 10)

Distance travelled by Mary, d₂ = 50t

The distance between Mary and Jim is greater than or equal to 100 miles.

60t+10-50t\ge100

10t\ge90

t\ge9\ h

So, Jim takes is 9 hours more than Mary to cover same distance. Hence, this is the required solution.

What statements correctly describe theories
elixir [45]

Theories result from several repeated experiments.

Theories explain observations and hypotheses.

Theories may be revised over time.

Explanation:

Scientific theories are purely explanations into an observation and hypothesis. The are general binding explanations that have been developed from several tests.

  • Theories are products of different stages of experiments in their own regard.
  • For a theory to be accepted by the scientific community, its hypothesis statement must be:
  1. Testable
  2. Repeated
  3. Falsifiable
  • Based on new evidence, a theory may be revised with time. One of such is the Dalton's atomic theory with a modern atomic theory version now.

A block of gelatin is 120 mm by 120 mm by 40 mm when unstressed.
ycow [4]

Answer:

σ = 3.402 KPa ,  γ = 0.25 , G = 13.608 KPa

Explanation:

Given:-

- The dimension of gelatin block = ( 120 x 120 x 40 ) mm

- The applied force, F = 49 N

- The displacement of upper surface, x = 10 mm

Find:-

Find the shearing stress, shearing strain and  shear modulus.​

Solution:-

- The shear stress is the internal pressure created in an object opposing the applied action ( Force, moment, bending, or torque ).

- A force of F = 49 N was applied parallel to the top surface of the gelatin block.

- The shear effect results in a stress in the gelatin block.

- The formulation of stress ( σ ) is given below:

                        σ = F / A

Where,

           A : The surface area of the object that experiences the shear force.

- The top surface have the following dimensions:

          A = ( 0.120 )*( 0.120 ) = 0.0144 m^2

Therefore,

                     σ = 49 / 0.0144

                     σ = 3.402 KPa

- The shear strain ( γ ) is the measurement of change in dimension per unit depth of the block.

- The top surface undergoes a displacement of ( x ). The height of the top surface of the gelatin block is L = 40 mm.

Hence,

                    γ = x / L

                    γ = 10 / 40

                    γ = 0.25

- The shear modulus or the modulus of rigidity ( G ) is a material intrinsic property that signifies the amount of resistive stress to any cause of deformation.

- It is mathematically expressed as a ratio of shear stress  ( σ ) and shear strain ( γ ):

                   G =  σ / γ

                   G = 3.402 / 0.25

                   G = 13.608 KPa

Why do you see objects when you shine a flashlight in a dark room?​
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

We see objects in a dark room due to the emission of light photons which are sensitive to our eyes. Darkness is simply a terminology used to describe the absence of light. Visible light to human is a component of the electromagnetic spectrum. Our eyes have receptors that picks the photons which light releases
