Divergent boundaries are formed when plates are pulling apart; this kind of force is called tension. The opposite boundary is a convergent boundary, where two plates collide; this happens near subduction zones. The force present in a transform boundary is shearing, which is when two things grind past each other.

Answer= convergent=shearing

<u>Answer: </u>

Option (d)

Compression is the force that is present at a convergent boundary.  

<u>Explanation: </u>

Stress is any external force that acts on the rock leading to either it’s deformation or Reformation. Compression is a type of stress that acts towards the centre of a rock and is present at a convergent boundary.

Horizontal compression may lead to a break in the crust of the earth which is known as thrust faulting whereas vertical compression may lead to a normal fault.

There are tradeoffs to everything.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Yes, with a condition.

Explanation:

Renewable energy sources and have always been available on the planet, but until recently, humans have not had the technology necessary to harness them. Since solar and wind energy are limitless, it clearly makes sense to invest the necessary amounts of money to build one-time infrastructure capable of powering all human activity without depleting natural resources.

The condition that is a prerequisite already being fulfilled is that technology be developed to make alternative energy solutions <em>economically viable and profitable </em>enough to be able to compete with traditional non-renewable sources.
