If you wanted to live where the chances of a destructive earthquake were small, would you pick a location near a fault zone, near a mid ocean ridge, near a subduction zone, or on a volcanic island such as Hawaii? What are the relative risks of earthquakes at each of these locations?
On Dec 4, 2021 a volcano, Mt. Semeru erupted in Indonesia near Java in the Pacific Ocean in an area known as the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire is a string of volcanoes and sites of seismic activity, or earthquakes, around the edges of the Pacific Ocean. Deep Ocean trenches and high mountain ranges are also part of the Ring of Fire. Match the tectonic plate boundary condition with the earth's geologic feature in the lithosphere. * (Convergent Boundary)(Divergent Boundary)(Transform Boundary) : Match these with the below: San Andreas Fault Marianas trench High Mountain Ranges Subduction Java (Sunda) trench Formation of Island Chains Mid-Atlantic Ridge…
y " Discuss the different sources of size effect. Describe energetic size effect in fracture using two different sizes of a plate with a center notch. Explain the significance of plate thickness.
Suppose earthquake A registers two more points on the Richter scale than earthquake B. a. How are their corresponding intensities related? b. How are their released energies related? a. Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice. O A. A = IB + O B. A = Oc. 'A ='B O D. IA = lB -
If the Richter scale is altered so that it compares energy released instead of intensity, the definition of the scale becomes M2 - M1 = LOG31 (E2 / E1). a) If the magnitude of an earthquake is increased by 1 on the scale, by what factor is the energy released multiplied? b) What is the magnitude of an earthquake that releases 200 times the energy of an earthquake with magnitude 4.5? c) How many times greater is the energy released from an earthquake with magnitude 9.0 than that of an earthquake with magnitude 6.5?
According to the infographic above a recent magnitude 7.7 Earthquake was recorded in Los Angeles 2016. Earthquakes represent a release of energy as a result of the earth's tectonic plates. a) Determine the amount of energy release in ergs. b) Determine the energy release in Joules. ( Hint use the earthquake formula M = 2/3 log (E/ 10^11.8); where M is the earthquake magnitude and E is the energy of the earthquake in ergs (recall 1 erg = 10^-7 Joules))
Ok so... if you drill a hole through the core if the earth maybe 10 feet wide (ignoring magma and everything else that would make it impossible) and someone jumped in.. what would happen? Would they just keep falling both directions until they stop... or would they be going so fast that they leave our atmosphere... or something else? Explain if possible.
Q2. To illustrate the tremendous pressure that exists deep underground where granite bodies are emplaced, answer the following question. Stone Mountain granite in Georgia has an area of 4.1 square kilometers and was emplaced 16 km deep. If we assume that Stone Mountain granite is present in an area that has more or less a rectangular shape with dimensions of 1 km by 4.1 km and that it was buried under 16 km of metamorphic rock material with a density of 2.6 g/cm³. We can calculate the weight of metamorphic rock over the Stone Mountain granite when it was emplaced and before erosion removed that material. First, we need the volume of the metamorphic rock that existed over Stone Mountain. The volume of a rectangular prism that represents the metamorphic rock over Stone Mountain is length x width x height. In our case: 1 km x 4.1 km x 16 km= 65.6 km³ Now we can use the relationship: Density x Volume= Mass However, we need to change our density units from 2.6 g/cm3 to kg/km3, and then we…
According to the infographic above a recent magnitude 3.8 Earthquake was recorded in San Diego 2021. Earthquakes represent a release of energy as a result of the earth's tectonic plates. a) Determine the amount of energy release in ergs. b) Determine the energy release in Joules. ( Hint use the earthquake formula M = 2/3 log (E/ 10^11.8); where M is the earthquake magnitude and E is the energy of the earthquake in ergs (recall 1 erg = 10^-7 Joules)). c) Using the earthquake magnitude scale below to qualitatively categorize (was it Minor, Light, Moderate, Strong, Major or Great) and describe the earthquake (what kind of damage is expected from a magnitude 8.2 earthquake). *
