Question

the question is to find the velocity of D relatiove to B or BvD as a vector and the answer is 5.22 cm/yr but i am not sure how to break the vectors into x and y components to get that answer

the other vectors are DvC=10cm/yr

and CvB=6cm/yr

a. Which minerals are important in paleomagnetism? b. What is the difference between "induced" and "remnant" mag c. What is a TRM, and how is it generated? What is a DRM, ano generated? 4) Refer to figure 2.22 in Fowler, reproduced below. Be sure to shi graphical solution (draw vectors as arrows) and algebraic solution (ba components) a. Use the plate velocities and directions to determine the r motion between plates B and D. (answer gVD - 5.22 cm/yr at b. Use the plate velocities and directions to determine the r motion between plates A and D. (answer Vp - 9.25 cm/yr at Plate D (All plates A-D sh rigidly without rot ridges add at equal plates on either sid the rates given on t are half the plate- rates. The trench f boundary of plate consume A.) 5 cm y 5 emy Plate C Plate B 45 Fowler Figure 2.22, used in problem 4: 5) The lithosphere of planet Tigerlandia (depicted below) consists of thre plates. Plate C is a hemisphere, and plates A and B are each half hemm The relative sense of motion between plates A and C and plates B and

Explanation / Answer

Velocity of D relative to B is given by

DVB=(DVC2+CVB2)1/2

DVB=[(10 cm/yr)2+(6 cm/yr)2]1/2

DVB=11.66 cm/yr
