B. To have an earthquake there must be a fault line (where two or more tectonic plates meet) so if San Fran. has earthquakes they’re on a fault line.

Answer:

B) San Francisco is close to an area where tectonic plates meet.

Explanation:

According to the question most earthquakes occur in areas close to where tectonic plates meet. The best option that can be concluded from the earthquakes occurring in Francisco is that San Francisco is close to an area where tectonic plates meet. The close proximity of San Francisco to where tectonic plates meets will likely cause earthquake in that region.

Generally, the earth is divided into different plates. These tectonic plates might be oceanic crust or continental crust. The plates are constantly moving. The plates might be moving away from each other(divergence) , colliding with each other(convergence) or moving past each other (transform).

The area where these plates meets are usually area of potential earthquakes. This boundary are area of minor or major earth quake. Usually , aesthenospheric material are introduce to the surface through this boundary.

Compare and contrast a series and parallel circuit. Give at least one way that they are alike and one way that they are differen
masya89 [10]
A parallel circuit has multiple paths from the energy source to the resistors (e.x., lightbulbs). If one bulb was to burn out, the rest would stay on, unlike a series circuit. If one bulb was to burn out, the circuit is no longer fully connected because there is only one path from the energy source to the resistors. But, despite these differences, they are similar in the way that they do have paths from the energy source to the resistors.

Light of wavelength 608.0 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The diffraction pattern is viewed on a screen 88.5 cm from the slit.
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The width of the slit is 0.167 mm

Explanation:

Wavelength of light, \lambda=608\ nm=608\times 10^{-9}\ m

Distance from screen to slit, D = 88.5 cm = 0.885 m

The distance on the screen between the fifth order minimum and the central maximum is 1.61 cm, y = 1.61 cm = 0.0161 m

We need to find the width of the slit. The formula for the distance on the screen between the fifth order minimum and the central maximum is :

y=\dfrac{mD\lambda}{a}

where

a = width of the slit

a=\dfrac{mD\lambda}{y}

a=\dfrac{5\times 0.885\ m\times 608\times 10^{-9}\ m}{0.0161\ m}

a = 0.000167 m

a=1.67\times 10^{-4}\ m

a = 0.167 mm

So, the width of the slit is 0.167 mm. Hence, this is the required solution.
