an earthquake is the shaking and trembling that results from the movement of rock beneath earth's surface. earthquakes most commonly occur near tectonic plate boundaries.

why is this most likely the case?
a.
tectonic plates move along, against, or away from each other at their boundaries. these movements produce earthquakes.

b.
earthquakes can only happen near volcanic eruptions, and most volcanoes occur on or near plate boundaries.

c.
many plate boundaries are bordered or covered by the ocean. water from the ocean seeps into earthquake fault lines, softening the rock materials so that they can move and cause earthquakes.

d.
seismic waves transmit through different media at different speeds. subduction zones at plate boundaries are ideal for transmission of these waves.

Steam is generated in a boiler of a cogeneration plant at 10 mpa and 450°c at a steady rate of 5 kg/s. in normal operation, steam expands in a turbine to a pressure of 0.5 mpa and is then routed to the process heater, where it supplies the process heat. steam leaves the process heater as a saturated liquid and is pumped to the boiler pressure. in this mode, no steam passes through a condenser, which operates at 20 kpa. (a) determine the power produced in the turbine and the rate at which process heat is supplied in this mode. (b) determine the power produced in the turbine and the rate of process heat supplied if only 60 percent of the steam is routed to the process heater and the remainder is expanded to the condenser pressure.
