If a sample of pyrite has a volume of 50 cm3, what would its mass be? 250 g 175 g 200 g 10 g MASS (grams)A recent magnitude 6.0 Earthquake was recorded. Earthquakes represent a release of energy as a result of the earth's tectonic plates. a) Determine the amount of energy released 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)).State the dynamic processes of rock formation and deformation, volcanism, and earthquakes within the framework of Plate Tectonic Theory
- An earthquake occurs 6,875 km from a seismograph. The P-waves arrive 11.6 minutes later. How fast is the P-wave traveling (in km/s)? If the lag time between P- and S-waves is 10.8 minutes, how fast are the S-waves traveling (in km/s)? Using the shadow of S-waves you determine that the radius of the core is 55% of the Earth's 6,378-km radius. How many kilometers from the surface is this (in km)? To calculate how fast the P-waves are traveling, we need to divide the distance the waves travel by the time. vP = d s vP = km/sCalculate the porosity of a formation composed of uniform spherical grains of radius r in acubic packing arrangement, when the central space is occupied by the largest possible sizedspherical particle. Such a particle could not squeeze inside the cell between the other particles, butmust have been placed there during initial rock depositionHow many parallel canyon systems collectively make up the Valles Marineris a. 1 b. 2 c. 3 d. 4
- Which must be true for metamorphism to occur? A) The parent rock must be in solid form. B) Tons of pressure must be applied. C) The process must take place underground. D) All the aboved) Suppose a mineral has three directions of cleavage (e.g., calcite). How many faces will a crystal of the mineral have? Why?This igneous rock contains angular pieces of gray volcanic rocks in a matrix of powdery volcanic ash and smaller rock fragments. What type of rock is it? OStephen J. Reynolds
- State the principle of superposition?The Richter scale measures seismic activity. Other measures of quake strength include the energy released by quakes. One of these other measures is given by the equation. Using this measure, find the relative strengths of the Chilean and the Haitian earthquakes. additonal info: Chile earthquake is 8.8 on the richter scale Haiti earthquake is 7 on the richter scaleMy qustion is in the picture.
