The San Andreas fault is an example of which type of tectonic plate boundary?

2 answers:

4 0

The San Andreas fault is an example of Transform tectonic plate boundary.
The San Andreas fault is a long narrow valley where the plates that make up the fault meet. It consists of the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. These plates slide past each other when they move. It is also known as a strike-slip fault. As the plates bump and jam against each other as they slide past each other, earthquakes jar the regions around these plates.

Which of the following describes gamma rays?

Anarel [89]

Answer: short wavelength, high frequency

Explanation:

Gamma rays are highly energetic electromagnetic waves. High energy implies high frequency.

E = h ν

h is the Planck's constant, ν is the frequency.

For electromagnetic radiation, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength. Thus, gamma rays have high frequency but short wavelength.

The frequency of gamma rays is greater than 10¹⁹ Hz and wavelength is less 10⁻¹² m.

If 180 grams of potassium iodide is dissolved in 100 cm3 of water at 30oC, a(n) _______________ solution is formed. A) saturated

kenny6666 [7]

Answer: D)supersaturated

Explanation: Solubility is defined as the amount of solute in grams which can dissolve in 100 g of the liquid to form a saturated solution at that particular temperature.

At $30^0C$ , the solubility of $KI$ is 153g/100 ml.

Thus if 180 grams is dissolved, it contains more amount of solute than it can hold at that that temperature, and thus is supersaturated solution.

A saturated solution is a solution containing the maximum concentration of a solute dissolved in the solvent. The additional solute does not dissolve in a saturated solution.

An unsaturated solution is solution in which the solute concentration is lower than its equilibrium solubility.

A supersaturated solution is one that has more solute than it can hold at a certain temperature.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: The theory might have become Obsolete or Superseded

Explanation:

A theory becomes obsolete or superseded if it becomes inadequate, false or incomplete in how its describes reality. It does not matter if it was once accepted. There are some theories such as Lysenkoism that are currently described as being obsolete because it does not conform to current reality. Another example of a theory that was superseded is the phlogiston theory. It was replaced a different theory of energy.
