These diagrams represent two types of tectonic plate boundaries

Convergent boundaries are caused by the collision of two plates and can originate volcanoes. Transforming boundaries produce fractures by displacement. <em>The correct option is D. Type A boundaries have fewer volcanoes. </em>

----------------------------------------

The crust -the outermost layer of the earth- is divided into many plates that move over the mantle.

These plates are limited by three types of ridges or borders that differ in the movement they produce.

Boundaries types:

I. Divergent:

  • This boundary occurs when two plates separate and molten material rises from the mantle creating a new crust.

  • The hot material creates a new seabed between the separating plates, expanding the sea bottom.

II. Convergent.

  • Collision area between two plates.

  • Two oceanic plates might collide, or one oceanic plate with a continental one.

  • In this last case, the oceanic crust sinks under the continental plate, and magma rises to the surface by crevices.

  • The thicker and older plate subduces under the other plate.

  • Collisions create volcanic arches and continental arches.

III. Transforming.

  • The plates slide laterally with each other, and they are usually called faults.

  • It is associated, in general, with the oceanic ridge, although it might also occur in the continental plate.

  • No rocky material is either destroyed or formed.

  • When the plates move and produce a displacement of one transforming limits from side to side, earthquakes occur.

  • The movement breaks the crust and originates pronounced fractures.

In the attached images, we can see

  • image A representing transforming boundaries,
  • image B representing Convergent boundaries.

Image B is the one that can originate volcanoes because transforming boundaries only produce fractures.

So the correct option would be D.

kherson [118]

Explanation:

The Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of each of the electric forces between two point-at-rest charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them:

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}

In this case we have an electron (-e) and a proton (e), so:

F=-\frac{ke^2}{d^2}\\F=-\frac{8.99*10^9\frac{N\cdot m^2}{s^2}(1.6*10^{-19}C)^2}{(933*10^{-9}m)^2}\\F=-2.64*10^{-16}N

In this case, the electric force is negative, therefore, the force is repulsive and its magnitude is:

F=2.64*10^{-16}N

Both retinal disparity and convergence increase as an object gets closer to the individual.
Gnom [1K]
That statement is true

Retinal disparity : space between your eyes that allow binocular vision to create depth perception

Retinal Convergence : Space between your eyes that signal visual moves to the retina

They both will increases as an object get closer to the individual, allowing them acknowledge and observe the existence of the object

George walks to a friend's house. He walks 850 meters north before he realizes he walked too far.
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

<h2>44 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

In this problem we are expected to calculate the velocity of Georges movements.

Given data

Total distance covered by  George= 850+250= 1100 meters

Time taken  by  George to cover the total distance= 25 seconds

We know that velocity is, v= distance/ time

Therefore substituting our data into the expression for velocity we have

v= 1100/ 25= 44 m/s

Hence the velocity in m/s is 44

A steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.
kaheart [24]

A steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass of 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.the speed of transverse waves on the wire would be  372.77 m/s

<h3>What is a sound wave?</h3>

It is a particular variety of mechanical waves made up of the disruption brought on by the movements of the energy. In an elastic medium like the air, a sound wave travels through compression and rarefaction.

For calculating the wave velocity of the sound waves generated from the piano can be calculated by the formula

V= √F/μ

where v is the wave velocity of the wave travel on the string

F is the tension in the string of piano

μ is the mass per unit length of the string

As given in question a steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass of 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.

The μ is the mass per unit length of the string would be

μ = 4.80/(1.150×1000)

μ = 0.0041739 kg/m

By substituting the respective values of the tension on the string and the density(mass per unit length) in the above formula of the wave velocity

V= √F/μ

V=√(580/0.0041739)

V =  372.77 m/s

Thus,  the speed of transverse waves on the wire comes out to be  372.77 m/s
