(1) What type of fault is the Wasatch fault in Utah?

1 answer:

8 0

<span>The Wasatch Fault sits in Utah and slips in a mainly vertical direction. It has mountains that rise relative to the floor of the valley. It is referred to as a normal fault. The Wasatch Mountains were slowly lifted up and tilted slightly east due to the fault moving. On average throughout history it has lifted roughly 1 millimeter per year thought there are signs that a rapid slip has occurred during the past few thousand years.</span>

Find an equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints

zzz [600]

Answer:

y= -7/2x-26/2 or y= -7/2x-13

Explanation:

To solve this question you need all of these formulas:

gradient: $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$ , Point-Slope $y-y1=m(x-x1)$ ,

perpendicular m $(m1)x(m2)=-1$ , Midpoint $(\frac{x1+x2}{2}$ , $\frac{y1+y2}{2} )$

and equation of a line $y=mx+c$

where m stands for gradient

First things first.

To start you have to know the data of the line that includes the two endpoints, so you calculate its gradient (m) of this line with the gradient fromula: $m=\frac{-4-(-8)}{5-(-9)}$ , which equals 4/14 or 2/7

(It can also be called rise/run) (Remember the rule of signs where - and - equal +)

with that information you can proceed with the point-slope or point-gradient formula, so you plug the values: y-(-8) = 2/7 (x-(-9)), which results in y+8=2/7(x+9) and then y+8=2/7x+18/7.

To finish the equation you move eight to the other side. To simplify things you can change it into a fraction as I did, and remember to change signs.

y=2/7x+18/7 -8 -> y=2/7x+18/7-56/7 . This gives us the number of y=2/7x-38/7, which is the equation of the first line.

Now to know the gradient of the second line you apply the formula of perpendicular bisector where m1 x m2 = -1. We know m1 (gradient of the first line) is 2/7, so m2 = $\frac{-1}{2/7}$ = -7/2. m2 is therefore -7/2

Now you have to know the midpoint between the two endpoints, which will act as the start point of the perpendicular bisector

M (midpoint) = $(\frac{-9+5}{2} ,$ $\frac{8+(-4)}{2} )$ , which give us the coordinates of (-2, -6)

(remember, x coordinate is always first)

with this point we can apply again the point-slope formula to know the equation of the line:

y-(-6)=-7/2(x-(-2)) -> y+6=-7/2(x+2) -> y+6=-7/2x - 14/2

Move the 6 to isolate the y

y=-7/2x -14/2 - 12/2

which equals y= -7/2x -26/2

To make sure the answer is correct.

Overfishing at sea can lead to a(n) __________.

MAVERICK [17]

Overfishing at sea can lead to an extinction.
Overfishing is a serious problem, it affects lot of marine species, at every water corner of the Earth. If the fishing is not controlled strictly it leads to extinction of the marine wildlife, lot of species have already been extinct, thousands are on the verge of extinction. Also, the extinction of a single species makes big problem in the ecosystem, removing lots of species has huge impact on lots of ecosystems that are connected and the consequences are irreparable.

Sedimentary rocks formed through the accumulation of organic carbon (dead plant matter) in low-oxygen environments (like swamps)

valina [46]

Biochemical sedimentary rocks are sedimentary rocks created by the buildup of organic carbon (dead plant debris) in low-oxygen conditions (such as swamps).

When organisms utilize elements dissolved in air or water to develop their tissue, biochemical sedimentary rocks form. The calcareous skeletons of creatures such as corals, mollusks, and foraminifera are used to make most varieties of limestone.

Shells and bodies of submerged creatures are used to build biochemical sedimentary rocks. Chemical components from the water are extracted by living creatures and used to form shells and other body parts. Aragonite, a mineral related to and usually replaced by calcite, and silica are among the constituents.

If a polygon is rotated, which of the following characteristics of the polygon will always be the same? Select ALL that apply.

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Side lengths

Angle measures.

Explanation:

Polygon refers to two dimensional shapes that is created by straight line segments connected to form polygonal circuits. When rotated they have the same lengths and angle measures because it is equilateral and equiangular and rotated at 360 degrees.

This means that it has equal side lengths and equal measure angles.

The number of lines of reflection symmetry is the same as the side of polygon because it has the same length.

For example, Pentagon is a five sided polygon, when rotated, it has five lines order of symmetry. The angle of rotation is 360 degrees, therefore 369 degree is divided by the five lines of symmetry which is 72 degrees.
