Why does pressure build up around the plates?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ira Lisetskai [31]2 years ago
4 0

Answer: The correct answer is

Earthquakes occur along fault lines, cracks in Earth's crust where tectonic plates meet. They occur where plates are subducting, spreading, slipping, or colliding. As the plates grind together, they get stuck and pressure builds up. Finally, the pressure between the plates is so great that they break loose.

What caused the dawn horse to go extinct??
Vikentia [17]
The "Dawn horses" were actually not related to horses! Recent studies of fossils found that "Dawn Horses" were buried in the same rock layers as modern horses! evolutionists were shocked at first but then decided that the "Dawn horse" was related to rabbits! Now to answer your question no one really knows why they went extinct. Evolutionist believe they changed into rabbits and Creationists (people who believe God created the universe and that evolution is incorrect) believe they died out due to climate changes after the global flood of Noah.

A balloon is filled to a volume of 1.6 L at 278 K. The balloon is left outside overnight and the temperature has dropped to 253
german

Explanation:

Charles' law gives the relationship between the volume and the temperature of the gas. Mathematically,

Volume ∝ Temperature

i.e. \dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}

We have, V₁ = 1.6 L, T₁ = 278 K, T₂ = 253, V₂=?

V_2=\dfrac{V_1T_2}{T_1}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{1.6\times 253}{278}\\\\V_2=1.45\ L

So, the new volume is 1.45 L.
