This process is known as c>folding.

The occurrence of folding happens when crustal plates move together under the compressional force, causing the rocks to fold into a series of waves. In some cases folding might be small scaled and not significant, while in large scaled folding features like the fold mountains will be formed.

Let's look into the rest of the answer one by one:

a>deposition

Deposition is a movement that occurs under gravity, where the small particles of rock or soil is deposited on the surface. It could occur when the current of water is gentle, or when rock weathers and the smaller particles fall off. A long term deposition could cause the formation of sedimentary rock when particles accumulate.

b> faulting

Faulting can occur under compressional force, shear force or tensional force. When the compressional force is so strong that overthrust occur, the rock might break under the pressure and cause faulting. While shear stress and tensional force will pull the rock apart and cause faulting. Some examples caused by faulting is rift valley.

d> weathering

Weathering is the break down or dissolving of rock under physical factors or chemical factors. For example, under the difference of temperature, the rock will contract and expand at an alternate rate and break apart. An example for chemical factors is when the rock that include dissolvable materials dissolved under acid or water.

Therefore the answer is  c>folding.

Hope it helps!

The most widely accepted theory among scientists is that the last place humans migrated to was the Americas. Europe. South Asia.
adelina 88 [10]

The correct answer is - the Americas.

The Americas from what is known and discovered till now are by far the latest continents that were settled by the people. Even though it is still not clear when exactly did this happened it is in the range between 19,000 and 12,000 years ago as the biggest given and lowest given number by scientists. It is understandable though that people found it hard to migrate in this part of the world since it was cut of by an ocean and the only way that they could migrate was through the Bering Land Bridge which in fact was an icy bridge between the continents and extremely inhospitable place. There is also the large carnivores in North America as a factor that delayed the migration, and of course the ongoing ice age which covered huge portions of North America with glaciers, ice and snow.

Why is 90% of logging activity in Canada considered “unsustainable”?
kenny6666 [7]
<span>Confidence votes 3.1K. Sustainable logging means logging an area in such a way as there is always trees to be cut. In other words, logging in a way that leaves young trees, medium age trees and mature trees behind each time you log, so that you can always log that area in the future.</span>

Suppose the eye of a hurricane passed directly over you, and you survived the experience. If winds were from the northeast as th
Ratling [72]

Answer:

SW

Explanation:

When a hurricane intensifies and the wind speed increases, an eye begins to form in the center of the storm. This normally occurs once the winds reach about 80 mph. Almost always the eye is circular when viewed from above, and measures about 20 to 40 miles in diameter. It looks cylindrical in a cross section of the storm, and extends through the center of the storm like a chimney. The air over the storm sinks through the center of the eye.

Hurricanes are formed from centers of low atmospheric pressures in warm waters around which strong air currents begin to circulate.

When ocean water heats up, the air rises and swirls to fill the low pressure that this creates.

This causes the air to be sucked in and up, which reinforces the low pressure in the center.

Thus, when the wind speed increases to 128 km / h, a kind of "vacuum" is created that meteorologists call "eye", since it has an almost circular shape.
