which statement correctly describes why earthquakes happen?(1 point)
A. earths crust near magma melts, and the ground collapses.
B. earths crust suddenly slips along a fault.
C. earths crust undergoes a cycle from a solid material to magma.
D. earths crust switches places in a periodic manner.
B. earths crust suddenly slips along a fault.
The correct statement describing why earthquakes happen is B. Earth's crust suddenly slips along a fault.
which desribes the locations where earth's volcanoes are formed?(1 point)
A. Earth's volcanoes are formed at convergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates collide and one plate sinks beneath the other.
where did you even get an answer??? anyway thats not an answer for me, im in conexus not person or whatever
I apologize for any confusion. As an AI language model, my responses are generated based on a mixture of licensed data, data created by human trainers, and publicly available data. I do not have direct access to specific external sources such as Conexus.
Regarding your question, I can provide the answer based on general knowledge. Earth's volcanoes are formed at various locations:
1. Convergent plate boundaries: at these boundaries, two tectonic plates collide and one plate sinks beneath the other, creating a subduction zone. This subduction can lead to the formation of volcanoes.
2. Divergent plate boundaries: at these boundaries, tectonic plates move apart from each other, creating a gap where magma rises to the surface, creating new crust and volcanic activity.
3. Hotspots: these are areas of volcanic activity that are not at plate boundaries and are believed to be caused by stationary heat sources beneath the Earth's crust.
It is important to consult your specific course materials or instruction from your teacher to ensure you have the correct answer for your assignment.
which feature forms when one plate is forced to bend and dive under the other?
The feature that forms when one plate is forced to bend and dive under the other is called a subduction zone or a trench. In this process, the denser plate (usually an oceanic plate) is forced beneath the less dense plate (usually a continental plate or another oceanic plate). This subduction of one plate beneath the other can result in the formation of volcanic arcs and mountain ranges.
what happens to the energy produced by blocks of earth crust clipping past each other?
When blocks of the Earth's crust clip or slip past each other along a fault line during an earthquake, the energy produced is released in the form of seismic waves. These seismic waves propagate through the Earth in all directions, causing the shaking and vibrations that we feel during an earthquake.
The energy from the sliding or slipping of the crustal blocks is converted into various types of seismic waves, including:
1. P-waves (primary waves): These are the fastest seismic waves, which have a compressional motion. They cause the ground to move back and forth in the direction of wave propagation.
2. S-waves (secondary waves): These waves have a shearing motion and move slower than P-waves. They cause the ground to move side to side or up and down perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
3. Surface waves: These waves travel along the Earth's surface and cause the most damage during an earthquake. They have complex motion and produce the shaking we experience during an earthquake.
Overall, the energy from the slipping of crustal blocks is transferred into seismic waves, which spread out and carry the energy through the Earth's interior, causing the ground to shake and resulting in the effects of an earthquake.
