Asthenosphere, one of the earth's mechanical layers is most easily deformed.

Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The layer named Asthenosphere is the one which can easily be deformed due to its semi solid (mostly fluid) state. It is often regarded by Geologists that, the asthenosphere is the weakest of all the other layers of Earth.

According to Plate Tectonic theory, the Continental plates float over this layer, hence they often collide with each other giving rise to physical features. The other layers like, Crust, Core and the Mantle are relatively strong and are not easily destructible when compared to Asthenosphere.

Why are seismologists interested in the possibility of the two faults being connected together?.
Neporo4naja [7]

Seismologists are interested in the possibility of the two faults being connected together is because two faults tells the possibility of upcoming of natural disasters like earthquake.

Seismic waves are the elastic waves that propagate in solid or fluid materials. They can be divided into the body waves that travel through the interior of the materials; the surface waves that travel along surfaces or interfaces between materials; and the normal modes, a form of standing wave.

There are the two types of body waves, pressure waves or primary waves (P-waves) and the shear or secondary waves (S-waves). P-waves are longitudinal waves that involves compression and expansion in the direction that  wave is moving and are always the first waves to appear on the seismogram as they are the fastest moving waves through solids
