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

2 answers:

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.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

The space surrounding a charged object is affected by the presence of the charge; an electric field is established in that space. A charged object creates an electric field - an alteration of the space or field in the region that surrounds it. Other charges in that field would feel the unusual alteration of the space.

Help me with this problem please

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Total moment of inertia when arms are extended: 1.613 $kg\,m^2$

Explanation:

This second part of the problem could be a pretty complex one, but if they expect you to do a simple calculation, which is what I imagine, the idea is just adding another moment of inertia to the first one due to the arms extended laterally and use the moment of inertia for such as depicted in the image I am attaching.

In that image:

L is the length from one end to the other of the extended arms (each 0.75m from the center of the body) which gives 1.5 meters.

m is the mass of both arms. That is: twice 5% of the mass of the person: which mathematically can be written as: 2 * 0.05 * 56.5 = 5.65 kg

Therefore this moment of inertia to be added can be obtained using the formula shown in the image:

$I_z=\frac{1}{12} \,m\,L^2\\\\I_z=\frac{5.65\,*\,1.5^2}{12} \\I_z=1.05937\,kg\,m^2$

Now, one needs to add this to the previous moment that you calculated, resulting in:

0.554 + 1.059 = 1.613 $kg\,m^2$

Here are the three observable facts that are explained by the nebular theory:
1) Planets all rotate in the same direction
2) Planets all orbit in within 6 degrees of a common plane
3) Planets within the orbit of the Asterioid Belt (terrestrial planets) are rocky while those outside it are gaseous.

Here are the missing statements and its appropriate labels:

all 6 of stars terrestrial planets have a moon as large as earth's moon - NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE THEORY

a star is surrounded by a disk of gas but has no planets - CONSISTENT WITH THE THEORY

a star has 20 planets - CONSISTENT WITH THE THEORY

a stars 5 terrestrial planets orbit in the opposite direction of its 3 jovian planets - NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE THEORY

beyond its jovian planets, a star has two ice-rich objects as large as mars - CONSISTENT WITH THE THEORY

of a stars 5 terrestrial planets, 1 has a moon as large as earth's moon - CONSISTENT WITH THE THEORY

a stars 4 jovian planets formed in its inner solar system and its 4 terrestrial planets formed farther out - NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE THEORY

a star has 9 planets, but none orbit in close to the same plane - NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE THEORY
