Aunque la interacción entre Placas Tectónicas es la principal causa de los sismos no es la única. Cualquier proceso que pueda lograr grandes concentraciones de energía en las rocas puede generar sismos cuyo tamaño dependerá, entre otros factores, de qué tan grande sea la zona de concentración del esfuerzo. Las causas más generales se pueden enumeran según su orden de importancia en:

TECTÓNICA: son los sismos que se originan por el desplazamiento de las placas tectónicas que conforman la corteza, afectan grandes extensiones y es la causa que más genera sismos.

VOLCÁNICA: es poco frecuente; cuando la erupción es violenta genera grandes sacudidas que afectan sobre todo a los lugares cercanos, pero a pesar de ello su campo de acción es reducido en comparación con los de origen tectónico.

HUNDIMIENTO: cuando al interior de la corteza se ha producido la acción erosiva de las aguas subterráneas, va dejando un vacío, el cual termina por ceder ante el peso de la parte superior. Es esta caída que genera vibraciones conocidas como sismos. Su ocurrencia es poco frecuente y de poca extensión.

DESLIZAMIENTOS: el propio peso de las montañas es una fuerza enorme que tiende a aplanarlas y que puede producir sismos al ocasionar deslizamientos a lo largo de fallas, pero generalmente no son de gran magnitud.

EXPLOSIONES ATÓMICAS: realizadas por el ser humano y que al parecer tienen una relación con los movimientos sísmicos.

Which answer shows a balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of plutonium-239
Setler [38]

Explanation:

When plutonium - 239 undergoes an alpha decay, it produces uranium - 235 in the process.

A radioactive occurs when a nuclide spontaneously disintegrates due to instability to produce lighter atoms which the release of radiation and energy.

    ²³⁹₉₄Pu    ⇒    ²³⁵₉₂U    +   ⁴₂He    +   energy

In a nuclear reaction, the mass and atomic numbers must always remain conserved. Nuclear reactions do not obey the law of conservation of matter and mass.

The mass number are the superscript before the symbol of the nuclide

The atomic number is the subscript.

The sum of the atomic number on the left hand side equals that on the right hand side. This goes for the mass number too.

For a plane mirror,how is the object s related to the distance s?
dlinn [17]
Light is a very complex phenomenon, but in many situations its behavior can be understood with a simple model based on rays and wave fronts. A ray is a thin beam of light that travels in a straight line. A wave front is the line (not necessarily straight) or surface connecting all the light that left a source at the same time. For a source like the Sun, rays radiate out in all directions; the wave fronts are spheres centered on the Sun. If the source is a long way away, the wave fronts can be treated as parallel lines.

Rays and wave fronts can generally be used to represent light when the light is interacting with objects that are much larger than the wavelength of light, which is about 500 nm. In particular, we'll use rays and wave fronts to analyze how light interacts with mirrors and lenses.
