AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the potential connections between granite behavior under pressure, mountain height limitations, and earthquake prediction related to climate changes. It questions how these geological phenomena might interrelate, particularly focusing on the physics behind mountain altitude constraints. Participants suggest that understanding granite's properties and the pressure exerted in the Earth's crust could provide insights into earthquake prediction. The conversation emphasizes the need for a deeper examination of these geological factors to establish any direct relationships. Overall, the thread seeks to clarify the links between geology, climate, and seismic activity.

Here is a question I wish you to help me:

Consider this three statements:
A) It's been seen for granite that when it's in high pressure it gets liquid and a noticeable amount of water egresses from it.
B) Some people say that the altitude of mounts won't be higher than a specific height.
C) Some people are trying to find a way to predict earthquake with changes of whether. It means that earthquake has a specific relation with changes in climate.
Can you find any straight relationship between this statements?​

Could you help me to solve this problem?
BTW sorry for my bad English. I've translated this problem.

Welcome to the PF. What course is this for? Looks maybe to be geology?

What do you think the relationship is between the statements? Why would the height of mountains be limited by something (statement #2)?
 
I think it should be related to physics because I found this problem in a list of physics problems.

Ok, but what about answering the other questions I asked you?
 
I'll go ahead and take a few questions out of the box (they may or may not be helpful): what is the granite composition of the crust, and how much pressure is exerted along the crust before an earthquake?

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
