What causes an earthguake?
What is an earthquake?An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. The surface where they slip is called the fault or fault plane. The location below the earth's surface where the earthquake starts is called the hypocenter, and the location directly above it on the surface of the earth is called the epicenter. Sometimes an earthquake has foreshocks. These are smaller earthquakes that happen in the same place as the larger earthquake that follows. Scientists can't tell that an earthquake is a foreshock until the larger earthquake happens. The largest, main earthquake is called the mainshock. Mainshocks always have aftershocks that follow. These are smaller earthquakes that occur afterwards in the same place as the mainshock. Depending on the size of the mainshock, aftershocks can continue for weeks, months, and even years after the mainshock!
What is used when ore is too deep within earth to be surface mined?
To recover subsurface ores, we use the techniques of underground mining. We sink or extend a shaft to follow the strata that contains the materials we wish to mine and process.
What is a curved fracture pattern is called?
This has been answered before but there was no explanation given for the curve. Materials that do not have fracture planes such as glass and obsidian (a natural glass-like mineral) do not follow any particular structural arrangement when fracturing. The curve results from the distribution of stresses radiating from the fracture start point. The fracture pattern is called conchoidal.
How are diamonds found and taken from the ground?
Diamonds erupt to the surface of the earth by way of volcanic pipes, which bring not only diamonds, but other trace minerals to the surface. Over time, humans spot either diamonds or the trace minerals on the surface and determine ways to follow the 'trail' of materials to the volcanic pipe. Once the pipe is located, a diamond mine is established and the process proceeds to mine for diamonds. You can read the article, below, to learn more about how diamonds are taken from the ground.
What causes a thrown object to follow a curved path?
Centripetal Force
On the surface of a sphere the sum of the angles of a triangle equals 180 degrees?
The angles will add up to greater than 180 degrees, because each of the lines will appear to bend as they have to follow the curved surface.
If a net force acts at an angle to the direction an object is moving the object will follow a straight curved unknown or straight forward path?
If a net force acts at an angle to the direction an object is moving, the object will follow a curved path. This is because the force causes both a change in the object's speed and its direction. The object will move in the direction of the net force, but its trajectory will be curved due to the combination of the force and the object's initial velocity.
What is Coanda effect?
The Coanda effect occurs due to the presence of a curved surface immersed in a flowing fluid when the surface curves away from the flow. The flow 1) causes a lowered pressure at the surface and 2) entrains fluid to flow towards the surface. The effect can be seen as smoke streams in a wind tunnel follow the shape of, e.g. a streamlined automobile. Another example is a water flow adhering to the back of a spoon. This is caused primarily by the Van der Waals (surface tension) forces between the water and the surface of the spoon.
An object experiencing a centripetal force will what?
follow a curved path
Why does a projectile follow curved?
Gravity and the fact we are on a round planet.
Centripetal force can it produce rotation?
A centripetal force is, by definition, a force that makes a body follow a curved path. So, yes, a centripetal force causes rotation about a point in space.
What techniques are used to file flat square and curved surfaces and achieve a smooth surface finish?
Techniques used to file flat square and curved surfaces to achieve a smooth surface finish, include using sweeping motions that follow the flat squares or curves to ensure the file is level. You will also need to secure the work place to ensure accuracy.
Why do p wave and s waves follow curved paths?
gravity
What is the definition of Centripetel motion?
a force that makes a body follow a curved path
What have horizontal and vertical velocities due to gravity and follow a curved path?
Axis
What is the term for smaller movements of the earths crust that follow an earthquake?
Aftershocks.
