The answer is;

The hanging wall rises above the footwall. This type of fault occurs due to compression tectonic movement that squishes the two crusts. This way the faulted section of rock shortens. This is the opposite of normal faults where the hanging wall falls below the footwall. This is due to extension tectonic movements that lengthen the faulted section.

In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall.

Further Explanation:

Fault: It is a fracture or rupture in the earth's outer layer. The faults are caused by the tectonic forces forming large boundaries between the plates. The faults are of following types:

• Strike-slip faults

• Dip-slip faults

• Oblique-slip faults

• Listric fault

• Ring fault

The dip-slip can be of two types normal or reverse fault. A non-vertical fault has two sides namely the footwall and hanging wall.When the hanging wall movement is in downward direction, with respect to the footwall is referred as normal fault but when the hanging wall movement is in upward direction, with respect to the footwall is referred as reverse fault. This movement results from compression and is commonly seen where the boundaries made of tectonic plate. The example of reverse fault is San Andreas Fault in California.

The radius of the cone id 1.75 inches an the height id 3.5 inches. If the diameter of the bubble gum ball is 0.5 inches what is

Olegator [25]

Answer: $11.15 in^{3}$

Explanation:

We need to know the volume of the cone that can be filled with bubble gum ball, but firstly we need to calculate the volume of the cone $V_{C}$ and the volume of the buble gum ball (a sphere) $V_{B}$ :

Volume of the cone:

$V_{C}=\frac{\pi R^{2}h}{3}$ (1)

Where:

$R=1.75 in$ is the radius of the cone

$h=3.5 in$ is the height of the cone

$V_{C}=\frac{\pi (1.75 in)^{2}3.5 in}{3}$ (2)

$V_{C}=11.22 in^{3}$ (3) This is the volume of the cone

Volume of the gum ball:

$V_{B}=\frac{4\pi r^{3}}{3}$ (4)

Where:

$r=\frac{0.5 in}{2}=0.25 in$ is the radius of the sphere (half the diameter)

$V_{B}=\frac{4\pi (0.25 in)^{3}}{3}$ (5)

$V_{B}=0.065 in^{3}$ (6) This is the volume of the gum ball

Know we are able to find the closest approximation of the volume of the cone that can be filled with bubble gum ball, by calculating the difference or substracting (6) from (3):

$V_{C}-V_{B}=11.22 in^{3}-0.065 in^{3}$ (7)

Finally:

$V_{C}-V_{B}=11.15 in^{3}$ (8)

Unfortunately I do not understand what you are needing. It looks to me that you need to look up several facts and then create a presentation on law, public safety, and security careers. And the best place to look that info up on is online. Sorry if this isn't what you need but i do hope that this helps!
