The motion of tectonic plates is the source of energy for an earthquake. This implies the correct answer is D.
Earthquakes mostly happen in some regions because, in some cases, the earth’s tectonic plate comes together. Earthquakes take place at the bottom of the ground as a result of the tension and pressure that occur when the earth’s tectonic plates slide past each other or jam each other.
Earthquake mostly takes place when rock slide past a fault, that is, when there is a break in the Earth’s crust along plate boundaries.
Tectonic plates don’t move very fast, their movement is very slow but if they jam one another, it will result in the building up of tension and pressure on the locked section of the tectonic plates.
In the end, the pressure on the locked section will give in to the increased pressure and make the plates to rapidly move past each other and result in an earthquake.
Earthquakes can as well occur as a result of human activities such as nuclear experiments, mining, etc.
An earthquake can be very dangerous because wherever it happens, it always involves loss of life and property
Therefore, the motion of tectonic plates is the source of energy for an earthquake.

Answer:
Explanation:
1 ) Which of these is a unit of pressure?
Answer:
Option B = I and II
Torr and mmHg both are units of pressure.
While litter (L) is unit of volume.
Torr:
Torr is the measure of pressure produced by one mmHg equal to the 1/760 of standard pressure used to the pressure of vacuum system.
Millimeter mercury mmHg:
It is the manometric pressure unit. It is defined as, the pressure exerted by column of mercury one millimeter high. it is represented by mmHg.
Torr to mmHg conversion:
Both are equal to each other.
1 torr = 1 mmHg
Torr to atm:
Torr is converted into atm by dividing the torr value 760.
mmHg to atm.
mmHg is converted into atm by dividing the torr value 760.
2) Decreasing the temperature of a gas will....
Answer:
option B = Decrease the collision rate between gas particles
when the temperature of gas is increased the average kinetic energy of gas molecules will increased and gas particles moves fast. Thus because of high velocity gas molecules colloid with each other and also with the wall of container. We can say that collision between gas molecules increased by increasing the temperature. The pressure will also goes to increase.
But when the temperature is decreased the kinetic energy of gas molecules goes to decrease and collision will also decreased because of smaller velocity of gas molecules.
3) Which of the following pressure is equal to 2.0 atm.
Answer:
B) 202.6 KPa
In order to convert the pascal to atm we will divide the given value by 101325.
In order to convert the KPa into atm we will divide the value by 101.325.
A) 202.6 pa
202.6/101325
0.002 atm
B) 202.6 KPa
202.6/101.325
2 atm
C) 202,600 kpa
202,600/101.325
1999.5 atm
D) 202,600 Pa
202,600/101325
1.9995 atm
The option b is correct because 202.6 Kpa is equal to 2.0 atm.
4) What is the correct calculation when converting the 4.1 atm to kilopascal?
Answer:
Kilopascal and atm both are units of pressure. They can be converted into one another.
KPa can be converted into atm by dividing the giving KPa value 101.325.
atm can be converted into KPa by multiplying the given atm value with 101.325.
For example:
4.1 atm × 101.325 kpa/ 1 atm
415.432 atm. kpa / 1atm
415.432 kpa
Kpa to atm:
415.432 kpa/101.325 kpa × 1 atm
4.1 × 1 atm
4.1 atm
5) Decreasing the temperature of gas decreases the pressure because
Answer:
option b= The collision rate between gas particles decreased.
when the temperature of gas is increased the average kinetic energy of gas molecules will increased and gas particles moves fast. Thus because of high velocity gas molecules colloid with each other and also with the wall of container. We can say that collision between gas molecules increased by increasing the temperature. The pressure will also goes to increase.
But when the temperature is decreased the kinetic energy of gas molecules goes to decrease and collision will also decreased because of smaller velocity of gas molecules. Thus slow moving particles exerted low pressure.
Temperature and pressure are also directly related to each other. When temperature is high pressure will also high and when temperature is low pressure will also low.
6) Which of these is a unit of pressure?
KPa
Torr
g
Answer:
option B = I and ii
Explanation:
Kpa and torr both are pressure units.
Gram (g) is the unit of mass.
Torr:
Torr is the measure of pressure produced by one mmHg equal to the 1/760 of standard pressure used to the pressure of vacuum system.
Kilopascal:
The kilopascal is the unit of pressure. It is represented by KPa.
it is the pressure generated by 10 g mass of substance on area of 1 cm².
There are 1000 pascal in one kilopasca.
one atm = 101.325 KPa
one atm = 101325 Pa
