Which is not a type of fault?

Biology

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

A fault is defined as the fracture along which the blocks of rock move. This fracture can be linear or curved. The force of compression and tension acts on the rocks along this fracture, as a result of which, one of the block moves up or down relative to the other.

There are various types of fault such as -

(1) Normal fault- here the hanging wall moves down in comparison to the footwall.

(2) Thrust fault- here the hanging wall moves up in comparison to the footwall.

(3) transform fault- When two lithospheric plates slide past one another it forms a transform plate boundary. For example the San Andreas fault.

There is no such type of diagonal fault.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

A plane is traveling at 80 m/s. To prepare for landing, it decreases its speed to 50 m/s in 120 s.
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The deceleration of the plane is 0.25 m/s^{2}.

Explanation:

Deceleration is the converse of acceleration.

From first law of motion, we have;

v = u + at

where: v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

Thus,

v = 50 m/s

u = 80 m/s

t = 120 s

50 = 80 + 120a

50 - 80 = 120a

-30 = 120a

a = \frac{-30}{120}

  = -0.25

a = -0.25 m/s^{2}

The deceleration of the plane is 0.25 m/s^{2}.

strojnjashka [21]

The answer is  Lionfish are native to the tropical Pacific. There are no natural water routes of warm water between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

Invasive species is a species that colonizes an environment in which it is not a native species and tends to upset the natural balance of that environment. Lionfish are naturally found in the indo-pacific, which is their native environment. However, their presence in the eastern United States has have threatened the ecosystem of the region. The fish has decimated fisheries and reef ecosystem since they also don’t have natural predators in the region. Therefore, their population explodes unchecked.
