The rock cycle is a basic concept in geology that describes the time-consuming transitions through geologic time among the three main rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. As the adjacent diagram illustrates, each of the types of rocks is altered or destroyed when it is forced out of its equilibrium conditions. An igneous rock such as basalt may break down and dissolve when exposed to the atmosphere, or melt as it is subducted under a continent. Due to the driving forces of the rock cycle, plate tectonics and the water cycle, rocks do not remain in equilibrium and are forced to change as they encounter new environments. The rock cycle is an illustration that explains how the three rock types are related to each other, and how processes change from one type to another over time. This cyclical aspect makes rock change a geologic cycle and, on planets containing life, a biogeochemical cycle.
Plate movements drive the rock cycle by pushing rocks back into the mantle, where they melt and become magna again. Plate movements also cause the folding, faulting and uplift of the crust that move rocks through the rock cycle.

The answer would be B, George Darwin :)
The correct answer is
Air resistance
In fact, when a ball is in free fall, there are two forces acting on it:
- its weight (force of gravity), acting downward
- the air resistance, acting upward
The effect of the weight is to accelerate the ball, because its direction is the same as the direction of motion of the ball, while the effect of the air resistance is to slow down the ball, because its direction is opposite to that of the motion.
4200 N is the tension in the cable that pulls the elevator upwards.
The correct option is A.
<h3>What does tension ?</h3>
Tension is the force that is sent through a rope, thread, or wire whenever two opposing forces pull on it. Along the whole length of the wire, the tensile stress pulls equally on all objects at the ends. Every physical object that comes into contact with that other one exerts force on it.
<h3>Briefing:</h3>
We employ the following formula to determine the cable's tension.
Formula:
T = mg+ma............ Equation 1
Where:
T is the cable's tension.
M = Mass of the elevator and the Joey
Accelerating with a
g = Gravitational acceleration
Considering the query,
Given:
m = (300+60) = 360 kg
a = 2 m/s²
g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation 2
T = (360×9.8)+(360×2)
T = 3528+720
T = 4248 N
T ≈ 4200 to the nearest hundred.
