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.

What’s the velocity of a sound wave traveling through air at a temperature of 18°C (64.4°F)?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

342 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of sound in air is approximated as:

v ≈ 331.4 + 0.6 T

where v is the velocity in m/s and T is the temperature in Celsius.

At T = 18:

v ≈ 331.4 + 0.6 (18)

v ≈ 342.2

The velocity is approximately 342 m/s.

A thin stream of water flows smoothly from a faucet and falls straight down. at one point the water is flowing at a speed of v1
kati45 [8]
<span>The formulas are, v1d1² = v2d2² ........ (1) h = (v2²-v1²)/2g ...... (2) Given that, v1 = 1.71 m/s we assume that the stream has decreased by a factor d2 =0.805d1 then, v1d1² = v2 (0.805d1)² cancelled both side d1² then we get, v1 = v2 (0.805)² v1 = v2 (0.648025) Sub v1 = 1.71, 1.71 = v2 (0.648025) v2 = 1.71/0.648025 v2 = 2.638787083831642 v2 = 2.64 m/s The vertical distance formula, h = (v2²-v1²)/2g We know that value of gravity constant is 9.8 m/s² h = {(2.64)² - (1.71)²)/2(9.8) h = {(6.9696) - (2.9241)}/19.6 h = (4.0455)/19.6 h = 0.2064030612244898 h = 0.21 cm Therefore, the vertical distance h = 0.21 cm.</span>
