A geological fold occurs when one or a stack of originally flat and planar surfaces, such as sedimentary strata, are bent or curved as a result of permanent deformation.

So A fold is a Bend? in a rock. Maybe.

A fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock, across which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock-mass movement.

Answer:

A bold is a bent in a rock.

A fault is a crack in a rock

Explanation:

A bold is a bent in a rock.

In earth's structure, when a flat plate of sedimentary rocks are pressed due to the plates movement into one another, the plate structure takes the shape of a bent structure or curved structure. The rocks buckle into folds. Fold are commonly seen in rock structure that is layered.

A fault is a crack in a rock.

Faults in a rock structure is formed due to stress. Faults are associated with the boundaries of the earth's tectonic plate. Fault is a zone of fracture between two blocks of mountain rocks and it causes relative motion in two sets of rock blocks.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

$s=5.79\ km$

$\theta=47^{\circ}$ east of south

Explanation:

Given:

distance of the person form the initial position, $d'=8.4\ km$

direction of the person from the initial position, $47^{\circ}$ north of east

distance supposed to travel form the initial position, $d=5.3\ km$

direction supposed to travel from the initial position, due North

Now refer the schematic for visualization of situation:

$y=d'.\sin47^{\circ}-d$

$y=8.4\times \sin47-5.3$ ...............(1)

$x=d'.\cos47^{\circ}$

$x=8.4\times \cos47^{\circ}$ .................(2)

Now the direction of the desired position with respect to south:

$\tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}$

$\tan\theta=\frac{8.4\times \sin47}{8.4\times \cos47}$

$\theta=47^{\circ}$ east of south

Now the distance from the current position to the desired position:

$s=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

$s=\sqrt{(8.4\times \cos47)^2+(8.4\times \sin47-5.3)^2}$

$s=5.79\ km$

Two plane mirrors are separated by 120°, as the drawing illustrates. If a ray strikes mirror M1 at a θ1 = 64° angle of incidence

tino4ka555 [31]

Angle, θ2 at which the light leaves mirror 2 is 56°

Explanation:

Given-

θ1 = 64°

So, α will also be 64°

According to the figure:

α + β = 90°

So,

β = 90° - α

= 90° - 64°

= 26°

β + γ + 120° = 180°

γ = 180° - 120° - β

γ = 180° - 120° - 26°

γ = 34°

γ + δ = 90°

δ = 90° - γ

δ = 90° - 34°

δ = 56°

According to the law of reflection,

angle of incidence = angle of reflection

θ2 = δ = 56°

Therefore, angle θ2 at which the light leaves mirror 2 is 56°

Energy from the Sun arrives at the top of the Earth’s atmosphere with an intensity of 1.30kW/m21.30⁢kW/m2. How long does it take

vivado [14]

Answer:

T=1.384×10⁶seconds

Explanation:

Given data

p (Intensity)=1.30 kw/m²

E (Energy)=1.8×10⁹ J

A (Area)=1.00 m²

T (Time required)=?

Solution

E=PT ................eq(i)

where E is energy

P is radiation power

T is time

Radiating Power is given as

P=pA

Where p is intensity

A is Area

Put P=pA in eq(i) we get

E=pAT

T=E/pA

$T=\frac{(1.8*10^{9}}{(1.30*10^{3} )*(1.00)} )\\T=1.38*10^{6} seconds$

Explain why cooler stars are red and hotter stars are blue

sergey [27]

More cool stars produce much of their light in the red part of the spectrum, so you see them, and bam, the color red. More hot stars, however, produce much more of their light in the green and or yellow spectrums, with much more tinier amounts of red / blue. This balance of the colors, your eye, sees simply as white. The more hot something is, the greater frequency of radiation it produces! Blue light has a higher frequency than red light, so the stars that glow red are cooler, than the stars that glow blue. :)

Hope this helped!
