No.
East-force can only be balanced by west-force.
North-force has no west-force in it, no matter how strong it is.
The geological process that could be responsible for this phenomenon would be the plate tectonics. The plate tectonic theories are believed to be the cause of the landforms forming on the earth's surface. What is described in the questions would be an oceanic ridge which is formed from converging oceanic crusts.
Answer:
Normal Force is usually perpendicular to the movement and static friction usually means that there is no movement.
Explanation:
The work donde by any force on an object is equal to the displacement of the object multiplied by the component of the force that is in the direction of the displacement.
Normal force is usually perpendicular to the movement, so there is no component in the direction of the displacement. This is why it is zero in most circumstances.
<em>Static</em> friction on the other hand, usually means that there is no movement at all (it's static). It means that there is no displacement between the object and ground (in most cases). If there is no displacement, there is no work.
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. For endothermic reactions, the reactants have less energy than the products. Which would mean that energy should be added to the reaction for it to proceed. Hope this answers the question.
