What happens if a mid-ocean ridge occurs on land

Physics
1 answer:
Gnesinka [82]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Despite being such prominent feature on our planet, much of the mid-ocean ridge system remains a mystery. While we have mapped about half of the global mid-ocean ridge in high resolution, less than one percent of the mid-ocean ridge has been explored in detail using submersibles or remotely operated vehicles. so therefore we do not have enough information about them to know what will happen

Explanation:

A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary. Mid-ocean ridges occur along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart. As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing enormous volcanic eruptions of basalt. The speed of spreading affects the shape of a ridge  slower spreading rates result in steep, irregular topography while faster spreading rates produce much wider profiles and more gentle slopes.

In what way would a digital thermometer be preferable to those from a liquid-based thermometer?
garik1379 [7]
Reading a digital thermometer is more preferable because you can just easily read the measurement from a screen, a number will just show in a screen as compared to a liquid-based thermometer where you still have to read the measurement by counting the markers in the thermometer. Hope this helps! Mark brainly please!

A disk 7.90 cm in radius rotates at a constant rate of 1 190 rev/min about its central axis. (a) Determine its angular speed. 12
Tanya [424]

Answer:

124.62\ \text{rad/s}

3.71\ \text{m/s}

1.23\ \text{km/s}^2

20.28\ \text{m}

Explanation:

r = Radius of disk = 7.9 cm

N = Number of revolution per minute = 1190 rev/minute

Angular speed is given by

\omega=N\dfrac{2\pi}{60}\\\Rightarrow \omega=1190\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}\\\Rightarrow \omega=124.62\ \text{rad/s}

The angular speed is 124.62\ \text{rad/s}

r = 2.98 cm

Tangential speed is given by

v=r\omega\\\Rightarrow v=2.98\times 10^{-2}\times 124.62\\\Rightarrow v=3.71\ \text{m/s}

Tangential speed at the required point is 3.71\ \text{m/s}

Radial acceleration is given by

a=\omega^2r\\\Rightarrow a=124.62^2\times 7.9\times 10^{-2}\\\Rightarrow a=1226.88\approx 1.23\ \text{km/s}^2

The radial acceleration is 1.23\ \text{km/s}^2.

t = Time = 2.06 s

Distance traveled is given by

d=vt\\\Rightarrow d=\omega rt\\\Rightarrow d=124.62\times 7.9\times 10^{-2}\times 2.06\\\Rightarrow d=20.28\ \text{m}

The total distance a point on the rim moves in the required time is 20.28\ \text{m}.

If Steve throws the football 50 meters in 3 seconds, what is the average speed of the football? Speed = distance / time Question
leva [86]

Answer:

A. 16.67 m/s

Explanation:

Speed or velocity refers to the rate of change in distance over a change in time. That is;

Speed = Distance ÷ time

Where;

Speed is in metre/seconds

Distance is in metre

Time is in seconds.

In this question, Steve throws a football 50 meters in 3 seconds. The average speed can be calculated this:

S = D/t

Where; d = 50m, t = 3s

S = 50/3

S = 16.6666666

S = 16.67m/s
