Why do some underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis and others don't?
Underwater earthquakes can cause tsunamis when they displace a large volume of water, usually due to vertical movement of the seafloor. The greater the displacement and the closer the earthquake is to the seafloor surface, the higher the chance of generating a tsunami. Earthquakes that occur deeper under the seafloor and have minimal vertical displacement are less likely to trigger a tsunami.
What is generated by the vertical displacement of the sea floor?
The vertical displacement of the sea floor generates tsunamis, which are large ocean waves caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. This displacement displaces a significant volume of water, creating waves that can travel great distances at high speeds. When these waves reach shallow coastal areas, they can amplify in height and cause devastating impacts on coastal communities. Additionally, vertical displacement can also contribute to changes in local sea levels and marine ecosystems.
What are the horizontal and vertical components of a cat's displacement when the cat has climbed 5m up a tree?
Think about the direction that the cat is moving. Does the cat's movement have a horizontal component? Or is the movement strictly vertical?
What is the relationship between vertical displacement and theoretical time of flight?
The vertical displacement of a projectile is directly related to the theoretical time of flight. The higher the vertical displacement, the longer the projectile will stay in the air before landing. This is because the time of flight is influenced by the initial vertical velocity and acceleration due to gravity acting on the projectile.
What is vsdv?
It stands for - Vertical Sum of Displacement Vector
Are tsunamis more likely in an active continental margin?
Yes, tsunamis are more likely to occur in active continental margins due to the presence of tectonic plate boundaries, subduction zones, and seismic activity that can trigger underwater earthquakes and vertical displacement of the seafloor, leading to the generation of tsunamis.
What is the formula for resultant displacment?
The formula for resultant displacement can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem. It is given by: Resultant displacement = √(horizontal displacement^2 + vertical displacement^2)
What is the formula for computing a roof slope?
A comprehensive and detailed examination beyond the scope of a real estate home inspection might be considered
What is the relationship between vertical displacement and theoretical range?
The vertical displacement of a projectile has no direct effect on its theoretical range. The range of a projectile is determined by its initial velocity, launch angle, and acceleration due to gravity. Vertical displacement primarily affects the height reached by the projectile during its flight, while range refers to the horizontal distance traveled.
Can you have a vertical line on a displacement vs time graph?
Yes―sort of. If displacement increases or decreases suddenly in an infinitely small point in time or a time interval that is too small to graph, a vertical line is used.
What formula can be used to find vertical displacement of a projectile?
It is a simple 'difference' formula. Altitude at 'a' altitude at 'b' Take 'a' from 'b' = displacement.
Absolute value function in real life?
The displacement, from the vertical, of a child on a swing, or a pendulum.
