How does plate tectonics influence the characteristics of Earths surface?

Geography
1 answer:
arlik [135]3 years ago
3 0
Plate tectonics cause things like earthquakes and earthquakes move and shape the earth. For example, divergent boundaries - areas where the plate tectonics move away from each other and create valleys and mid-ocean rifts, convergent boundaries are areas where the plates move towards each other and collide. Basically, they create mountains,volcanoes,earthquakes, mid-ocean ridges and ocean trenches.

If the star Alpha Centauri were moved to a distance 10 times farther than it is now, its parallax angle would ______
Virty [35]

Answer: get smaller

Explanation:

Parallax is the angle formed by the observation lines to a very distant object from two separated points.

The procedure to measure this distance in the case of a star, is based on observing it from two different places far away from each other, and then through trigonometry reach to the following relationship:

d=\frac{r}{sin \theta} (1)

Where:

d is the distance from Earth to the observed star (in Parsecs 1pc=206265AU)

r is the earth-sun distance that is equivalent to an astronomical unit (1AU=150000000km)

\theta is the angle of the parallax (in arc seconds '')

Now, the distance to an object (measured in parsecs) is the reciprocal of the parallax (measured in arcseconds).  Then, in its simplified mode, the stellar parallax is given by the following equation:

d=\frac{1}{\theta} (2)

As we can see, there is an inverse relation between the distance d and the parallax \theta:

\theta=\frac{1}{d} (3)

Hence, if the distance is increased by a factor of 10, the parallax is decreased by a factor of 10.

In other words, the  parallax angle gets smaller.

29. Ultramafic igneous rocks have a high content of A. diamond B. potassium C. hydrogen D. ferromagnesian minerals E. carbon is
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

D. Ferromagnesian minerals

Explanation:

An igneous rock (formed from the solidification of molten rock material) with a very low silica content (less than 45%), low potassium content and rich in minerals, more than 90% magnesium (MgO) and iron (FeO), is known as ultramafic igneous rock (also known as ultrabasic rocks), they are dark-colored, found in orogenic (mountain-forming) belts and they are used for scientists to understand geological processes in the Earth's history. Examples include peridotite, kimberlite, lamprophyre, lamproite, dunite, and komatiite.

<em>Considering this information we can conclude that D. Ferromagnesian minerals are the correct answer. </em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
