How did the volcano Mt. St. Helens form?

1 answer:

6 0

Given what we know about volcanic formations, we can conclude that the Mt. St. Helens volcano was formed by the process described in option D, "Subduction an oceanic continental convergent boundary caused a mountain range to form and magma to come to the surface".

Mt. St. Helens is a volcano that falls under the category of a stratovolcano. Stratovolcanoes are volcanoes that commonly form at subduction zones. This process forms chains or clusters of mountains along the boundaries of tectonic plates, where oceanic crust is pulled under another type of crust. This process tends to form mountain ranges which contain volcanoes, such as:

Cascade Range (To which Mt. St. Helens belongs)
Los Andes
Rocky Mountains
Campania Mountain range

and so on.

Answer: elastically deformed or non-permanently deformed

Explanation:

According to classical mechanics, there are two types of deformations:

-Plastic deformation (also called irreversible or permanent deformation), in which the material does not return to its original form after removing the applied force, therefore it is said that the material was permanently deformed.

This is because the material undergoes irreversible thermodynamic changes while it is subjected to the applied forces.

-Elastic deformation (also called reversible or non-permanent deformation), in which the material returns to its original shape after removing the applied force that caused the deformation.

In this case the material also undergoes thermodynamic changes, but these are reversible, causing an increase in its internal energy by transforming it into elastic potential energy.

Therefore, the situation described in the question is related to elastic deformation.

Temka [501]

Answer:3,600 Newtons

Explanation:

The net force acting on the car is

3×10^3squared

Newtons.

Force is defined as the product of the mass of the body and its aaceleration,⇒F=ma

Substituting the above given values we get,F=(1500kg) (2.0m /s^2 squared)=3000 N=3×10^3 squared N.

N=newtons

On Mars gravity is one-third that on Earth. What would be the mass on Mars of a person who has a mass of 90 kilograms (kg) on Ea

snow_tiger [21]

Answer: The person will still have a mass of 90kg on Mars

Explanation: The Truth is, the mass of a body remains constant from place to place. It is the weight which is equal to {mass of body * acceleration due to gravity{g}} that varies from place to place since it is dependent on {g}.

In this case the person will have a Weight of 90*9.8 = 882N on Earth.

{ "g" on Earth is 9.8m/s²}

And a Weight of 90*3.3 = 297N on Mars.

{ From the question "g" on Mars is {9.8m/s²}/3 which is 3.3m/s²}

From this analysis you notice that the WEIGHT of the person Varies but the MASS remained Constant at 90kg.
