The largest mountains on the continents are formed by stress deformation.

This is also know as strain, which is a process that occurs when the intensity of the stress is greater then the internal strength of the rock. This kind of activity, forming of mountains, occurs when to tectonic continental plates with same densities are colliding, so under the pressure, stress, they create, the area of collision is lifting up.

2. The sky is blue because:
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Air molecules scatter blue light more efficiently than other colors.

Explanation:

The sunlight has many colors and each of them has a different wavelenght. The color blue has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than the other colors. So, as sunlight goes through the air, the blue part causes charged particles to oscillate faster than the red part does and it is scattered more efficiently than the other colors and that's the reason for the sky to be blue.

What does ethically produced mean? Does this phrase apply to sweatshops
Bas_tet [7]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

<u>Ethically produced</u> means that a product was produced or a service was completed in a moral way and without infringing on the rights of others.

This phrase does not apply to sweat shops. These were places with unsafe and poor working conditions where workers were worked to their max and received low wages. The leaders of these companies were so concerned about profits that they did not take into account the well being of their employees. This is definitely not ethical, so products produced in sweatshops were not ethically produced.

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D

Whats the difference between a mold and a trace please hurry
Ludmilka [50]
Hi There! I think you mean the difference between a mold and a cast fossil. A mold and a trace fossil are the same things. A cast is a 3D example of a fossil while a mold fills up the fossil's imprint like mud.

Hope this helps!!!!! :)
