Which explains earthquakes and volcanic eruptions

2 answers:

7 0

Earthquakes and volcanoes occur along the edges of the tectonic plates. Scientists have developed a theory that explains how these giant plates move, thereby creating, destroying, and re-forming continents and oceans over long periods of time. This theory is called the theory of plate tectonics.

Answer: plate tectonics

Explanation: plate tectonics move constantly movement in narrow zones along plate boundaries causes earthquakes and plate tectonics come together and create pressure upon the magma deposit underground forcing it up into a volcanic eruption

The ratio of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14 is an artifact is 1:3. Given that half-life of carbon-14 is 5730years, how old is the arti

dusya [7]

Answer:

9155 years old

Explanation:

We use the following expression for the decay of a substance:

$N = N_0\,\,e^{-k*t}$

So we first estimate the value of k knowing that the half-life of the C14 is 5730 years:

$N = N_0\,\,e^{-k*t}\\N_0/2=N_0\,\,e^{-k*5730}\\1/2 = e^{-k*5730}\\ln(1/2)=-k*5730\\k= 0.00012$

so, now we can estimate the age of the artifact by solving for"t" in the equation:

$1/3=e^{-0.00012*t}\\ln(1/3)= -0.00012*t\\t=9155. 102$

which we can round to 9155 years old.

Which graph illustrates constant speed and velocity?

boyakko [2]

The correct graph is <u>D</u>.

The graph <em>A</em> is a straight line sloping downwards and it shows that the speed of the body is decreasing at a constant rate. Therefore, this s a graph of a body that is under a constant deceleration.

The graph B is a straight line which slopes upwards. Hence the graph shows that the speed of the body increases at a constant rate. Therefore, this is a graph of a body that is accelerating at a constant rate.

The graph C is curved line, which curves upwards. The slope of the curve increases with time. This is therefore, a graph of a body which is under increasing acceleration.

The graph D, however is a straight line parallel to the time axis. The speed of the body has the same value at all times. Therefore, Graph D is the graph which shows the motion of a body with constant speed.
