Why is it sometimes difficult for scientists to identify a a fold or fault?

1 answer:

4 0

Folds and faults are difficult to identify because they occur in the interior of rocks and also due to the dense nature of the materials.

<h3>What are faults and folds?</h3>

Faults are lines of weakness are present in materials dues to uneven positioning of the particles of the material.

Folds occurs when infolds occur in materials.

Faults and folds usually occur in rocks.

Folds and faults are difficult to identify because they occur internally and also due to the dense nature of the materials.

What is the meaning of inversely proportion

-BARSIC- [3]

If two variables are inversely proportional, then when one increases, the other decreases, and vice versa. If a variable, y, is inversely proportional to a variable, x, then y = k/x, where k is the proportionality constant.

What does it mean for waves to be polarized?

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Polarization, also called wave polarization, is an expression of the orientation of the lines of electric flux in an electromagnetic field ( EM field ). Polarization can be constant -- that is, existing in a particular orientation at all times, or it can rotate with each wave cycle.

An airplane flies with a constant speed of 560 miles per hour. How far can it travel in 1 1/2 hours?

Alik [6]

You would multiply the speed by the time. So the answer would be 840 miles.

An object is falling from a height of 7.5 meters. At what height will it’s velocity be 7 meters/second?

Nady [450]

One of the equations of gravity is this:
${v}^{2} = {u}^{2} + 2gh$
Where v = final velocity which is 7m/s
u = initial velocity which is 0 for objects falling from a height
g = acceleration due to gravity and it is approximately 10m/s^2. It's a constant so pretty much remember this number. It's positive since the work being done is caused by gravity (in other words, it's falling down). It can also be negative if the work being down is against gravity (in other words, it's going up)
h = height of object

Substitute for the values and you should have something like this
${7}^{2} = {0}^{2} + 2 \times 10 \times h$
$49 = 0 + 20h$
$h = \frac{49}{20}$
$h = 2.5m$
