Because of the build up of pressure. There is so much steam coming from such a compressed point, it’s coming out in force.
Now think of that same spot being closed, it only has one place to go but it can’t leave, so that pressure will build and build and then BOOM, it explodes.
In short, the answer is the pressure being released from a small point, and how that energy is released.
<span>E=hc/wav. len
E = (6.62 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8)/0.0275 x 10^-9
E = 7.22182 x 10^-15 J
To convert to eV divide by 1.6 x 10^-19
E = 7.22182 x 10^-15/1.6 x 10^-19 eV
E =45.36 x 10^3 eV
Th energy, E, of a single x-ray photon in eV is = 45.36keV.
Number of photons, n = total energy/ energy of photon
n = 3.85 x 10^-6/7.22182 x 10^-15
n = 5.33 x 10^8 photons </span>
Answer:
The pacific floor (oceanic crust) is thinner and more denser
Explanation:
The continental crust have a thickness of about 35 to 40 km on an average, and are composed of rocks that has less denser granitic minerals such as feldspar, quartz.
On the other hand, the oceanic crust have a thickness of about 7 to 10 km on an average, and it is comprised of denser mafic rocks that contains high amount of olivine and pyroxene minerals.
Due to this, the oceanic crust subducts below the continental crust during the time of collision.
Thus, the pacific floor (oceanic crust) is thinner and more denser, in comparison to the South American continental crust.
I don't think the shaping of the beach or hill would be considered
weathering, especially since it says "as smaller particles are moved
away". This one is just talking about where the particles decide to
gather and make a shape.
'C' is really talking about weathering, where rocks are broken up into
stones, and the stones into smaller pieces that can be blown away
on the wind. THAT's weathering.
