Atransform boundary is formed when tectonic plates slide past each other. parts of these plates break or slip as they rub against each other. the plates push forward and cause earthquakes. the gaps between these plates are called faults. most of earth's faults can be found along transform boundaries in the ring of fire.
which answer choice is an accurate explanation of this paragraph?
a
earthquakes can only happen along the transform boundaries that are located inside of the ring of fire.
b
earth's faults are only found in the ring of fire because they are caused by earthquakes.
c
the movement of tectonic plates makes the ring of fire one of the busiest places for earthquakes.
d
the gaps between tectonic plates along transform boundaries close as the plates move past each other.

Aheat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. the same engine running backward is called a heat pump if its purpose is to exhaust warm air into the hot reservoir. heat pumps are widely used for home heating. you can think of a heat pump as a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and, with its exhaust heat qh, warming the indoors. perhaps this seems a little silly, but consider the following. electricity can be directly used to heat a home by passing an electric current through a heating coil. this is a direct, 100% conversion of work to heat. that is, 19.0 \rm kw of electric power (generated by doing work at the rate 19.0 kj/s at the power plant) produces heat energy inside the home at a rate of 19.0 kj/s. suppose that the neighbor's home has a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 4.00, a realistic value. note: with a refrigerator, "what you get" is heat removed. but with a heat pump, "what you get" is heat delivered. so the coefficient of performance of a heat pump is k=qh/win. an average price for electricity is about 40 mj per dollar. a furnace or heat pump will run typically 200 hours per month during the winter. what does one month's heating cost in the home with a 16.0 kw electric heater? what does one month's heating cost in the home of a neighbor who uses a heat pump to provide the same amount of heating?

You are given two vectors a⃗ =−3.00ι^ 5.00j^ and b⃗ =5.00ι^ 2.00j^. let the counterclockwise angles be positive.
