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.

What is projectile motion caused by?
Lemur [1.5K]
Gravity acts to influence the vertical motion of the projectile, thus causing a vertical acceleration. The horizontal motion of the projectile is the result of the tendency of any object in motion to remain in motion at constant velocity.

The Earth orbits around the sun because the gravitational force that the sun
kotykmax [81]
<h3>Question -:</h3>

The Earth orbits around the sun because the gravitational force that the sun

exerts on the Earth:

O A. causes Earth's acceleration toward the sun.

O B. is very small because the sun is so far from the Earth.

O c. is smaller than the force the Earth exerts on the sun.

O D. pushes the Earth away from the sun.

<h3>Answer -:</h3>

O A. causes Earth's acceleration toward the sun.

<em>I </em><em>hope </em><em>this</em><em> </em><em>helps</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>have </em><em>a </em><em>nice </em><em>time </em><em>ahead!</em>

A 300 g glass thermometer initially at 23 ◦C is put into 236 cm3 of hot water at 87 ◦C. Find the final temperature of the thermo
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

74^{\circ} C

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of glass,m=300 g

T_1=23^{\circ}

Volume,V=236cm^3

Mass of water=density\times volume=1\times 236=236 g

Density of water=1g/cm^3

Temperature of hot water,T=87^{\circ}

Specific heat of glass,C_g=0.2cal/g^{\circ}C

Specific heat of water,C_w=1 cal/g^{\circ}C

Q_{glass}=m_gC_g(T_f-T_1)=300\times 0.2(T_f-23)

Q_{water}=m_wC_w(T_f-T)=236\times 1(T_f-87)

Q_{glass}+Q_{water}=0

300\times 0.2(T_f-23)+236\times 1(T_f-87)

60T_f-1380+236T_f-20532=0

296T_f=20532+1380=21912

T_f=\frac{21912}{296}=74^{\circ} C
