Why aren’t the Appalachian Mountains still as tall as the Himalayas?

Physics

IRISSAK [1]2 years ago

Answer:

It probably won't get any taller, though. From a geological standpoint, the Appalachians haven't seen much growth in quite a while. Since the dawn of the dinosaurs about 225 million years ago, this range has been getting whittled down by weathering forces.

Answer:

mountains are limited in their theoretical height by several processes. First is isostasy: the bigger a mountain gets, the more it weighs down its tectonic plate, so it sinks lower. ... Bottom line: mountains can get taller than Mount Everest in earth gravity, like the Appalachians probably did—but not much taller.

It is winter in Puerto Rico. Compare the air temperatures beachgoers feel near the water
Leviafan [203]
Large amounts of water do have a big impact on the weather: indeed, it takes less energy to warm/cool land than water.
Therefore, places near large amounts of water tend to have smaller differences in temperature between summer and winter than places far from waters.

Hence, during winter in Puerto Rico, alongside the coast, the temperature will be higher than in the innermost parts of the island.

Yall have helped a lot i just need help on this then ill be done for a while
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

f(x)=a(x - h)2 + k

Much like a linear function, k works like b in the slope-intercept formula. Like where add or subtract b would determine where the line crosses, in the linear, k determines the vertex of the parabola. If you're going to go up 2, then you need to add 2.

The h determines the movement horizontally. what you put in h determines if it moves left or right. To adjust this, you need to find the number to make the parentheses equal 0 when x equals -2 (because moving the vertex point to the left means subtraction/negatives):

x - h = 0

-2 - h = 0

-h = 2

h = -2

So the function ends up looking like:

f(x)=a(x - (-2))2 + 2

Subtracting a negative cancels the signs out to make a positive:

f(x)=a(x + 2)2 + 2Explanation:

After their loss to U of A, the ASU sumdevils traveled back to Tempe which is 187
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The average speed is 20.8 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed for the trip is given by:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the distance covered

t is the time elapsed

For the trip in this problem, we have:

d = 187 km = 187,000 m is the distance travelled

The initial  time is 10:00 pm while the arriving time is 12:30 am: this means that the time elapsed is 2.5 hours. Converting into seconds,

t = 2.5 h \cdot (60)(60)=9000 s

Therefore, the average speed for the trip is

v=\frac{187,000}{9000}=20.8 m/s

If the error in the angle is 0.50, the error in sin 90o is​
Sindrei [870]

At the given erro in angle, the error in the measurement of sin 90 degrees would be 0.001.

<h3>Percentage error</h3>

The percentage error of any measurement is obtained from the ratio of the error to the actual measurement.

The error of sin 90 degrees is calculated as follows;

sin 90 = 1

error in measurement = sin(90 - 0.5)

error in measurement = sin(89.5) = 0.999

<h3>Error in sin 90 degrees</h3>

Error in sin 90 degrees = 1 - 0.999

Error in sin 90 degrees = 0.001

Thus, at the given erro in angle, the error in sin 90 degrees would be 0.001.
