After the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, geolophysicistHarry Fielding Reid examined the displacement of the ground surface along the San Andreas Fault. He concluded that the quake must have been the result of the elastic reboundof the strain energy in the rocks on either side of the fault.
strain energy is 0. 5x force x (compression) X (compression)
There is a lot of force and a bit of compression when rocks squash up against other rocks causing earthquakes
The
sun is a ball of hot gases containing different kinds of elements at different
cores. It has a very high temperature that radiates all throughout the Milky
Way galaxy. The sun has three main parts; photosphere, chromospheres
and corona. The outer core of a star located at the chromospheres contains
mostly of hydrogen. Inside the hydrogen is helium then carbon, oxygen, neon,
magnesium silicon and the inert gas. The photosphere is scattered by the loose electrons in the corona’s plasma.
