Answer:

Explanation:

When the downward force of gravity on a falling parachutist is exactly equal to the upward force of air resistance , net force on the parachutist will be zero . As a result of it , there will be no acceleration in his downward motion . In other words , his downward velocity will not be either increasing or decreasing . It will remain steady .

So option b) is correct.

Why is it so difficult for<br> scientists to determine how the Jalisco block is<br> moving
NeX [460]

Answer:

Extensional faulting observed in southwestern Mexico has been related to the incipient rifting of the Jalisco block from the Mexican mainland since the Pliocene. On the basis of new structural and geophysical data, we propose that (1) the continental boundaries of the Jalisco block are ancient structures reactivated since the Pliocene at a low (<1 mm/yr) rate of deformation, and (2) Pliocene-Quaternary extensional faulting at the edges of Jalisco block is a basement-controlled intraplate deformation related to plate boundary forces rather than to active continental rifting. The Jalisco block boundaries first developed in response to the uplift of the Puerto Vallarta batholith in pre-Neogene time and underwent a complex contractile deformation before the Pliocene. During Pliocene-Quaternary times north-northeast extension reactivated the northern boundary, forming the Tepic-Zacoalco rift, whereas east-southeast extension formed the northern Colima rift. South of the Colima volcano, active extension is found only west of the so-called southern Colima rift and partly reactivates old northeast-trending basement faults. The parallelism between the subducted Rivera-Cocos plate boundary zone and the eastern neotectonic boundary of the Jalisco block supports eastsoutheastward motion of the southern Mexican blocks induced by the differential motion and oblique subduction of the Cocos and Rivera plates. On the other hand, we envisage Pliocene-Quaternary extension along the northern boundary as an upper-plate response to the low convergence rate and the steep subduction angle of the Rivera plate.

Explain<br> why it is necessary to protect the sand spit from coastal<br> erosion.
vovikov84 [41]

Answer: Because sand dunes protect inland areas from swells, tides, and winds, they must be protected and defended like national treasures. A strong and healthy beach dune is a powerful antidote against coastal erosion.  The ocean and the wind can have an unpredictable, destructive force on coastal regions.

What is the difference between the production and the dostribution of an item
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Production is the manufacturing of the item. Distribution is the transportation, promotion, or delivering of the item.

Examples:

Phones are produced in a factory. They are useless though unless they are distributed to the stores so that they can be sold to consumers.

The same can apply to commercial crops. Crops are all produced commercially and then distributed to thousands of grocery stores so that they can be sold.
