Explain how movements along faults generate earthquakes​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Scrat [10]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

When a plate moves it shifts the earth, and it can cause an earthquake.

A fault is where two of earth's tectonic plates come together. They can slide against the other, causing earthquakes, they can push against each other causing mountains to form, and they can move apart from each other, causing  valleys or trenches.

13. An aerosol spray can of deodorant with a volume of 0.410 L contains 3.0 g of propane gas (CH3) as propellant. What is the pr
qaws [65]

Answer: The pressure in the can is 4.0 atm

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

P = pressure of gas = ?

V = Volume of gas = 0.410 L

n = number of moles = \frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{3.0g}{44.1g/mol}=0.068mol

R = gas constant =0.0821Latm/Kmol

T =temperature =20^0C=(20+273)K=293K

P=\frac{nRT}{V}

P=\frac0.068mol\times 0.0820 L atm/K mol\times 293K}{0.410L}=4.0atm

Thus the pressure in the can is 4.0 atm

Mr. Aguilar has ice on his wrist, literally. If the ice on Mr. Aguilar’s wrist (H2O) weighs 546 grams, how many ice particles ar
Lunna [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  1.83 x 10²⁵ particles

Explanation:

Data

particles of H₂O = ?

mass of H₂O = 546 g

Process

1.- Calculate the molar mass of Water

Molar mass = (2 x 1) + (1 x 16)

                   = 2 + 16

                   = 18 g

2.- Use proportions to find the number of particles. Use Avogadro's number.

                 18 g ---------------- 6.023 x 10²³ particles

                546 g ---------------   x

                  x = (546 x 6.023 x 10²³) / 18

3.- Simplification

                  x = 3.289 x 10²⁶ / 18

4.- Result

                  x = 1.83 x 10²⁵ particles

What force is causing The object to eventually stop moving
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Hey buddy, here is your answer. Hope it helps you.

Explanation:

The force stopping the object's motion might be an obvious one - the ground! Friction is a force that slows or stops motion. Friction is the resistance to motion created by two objects rubbing against each other (the sled and the snow, for instance). Even air causes friction.
