Answer is:

a) watermelon being run over by a steamroller is a shear stress.

b) a person diving into the deep end of a swimming pool is a confining pressure.

C) playing a game of tug- of-war is a tensional stress.

d) Kneading bread dough is a compressional stress

e) slipping on banana peel is shear stress.

The explanation:

a) when  the shear stress is that force which affect on the body by slippage on a plane of the body , and here, the ground is the plane and the watermelon is pushed by slippage on the ground by steamroller .

b) when the confining pressure is the pressure which caused by the effect of the weight overburden the body, and here the water in the pool is the weight that is overburden the body of the diving person which cause the confining pressure.

c) when the tensional stress is the force which is resulted from the pull body a part which perpendicular to the surface of the body, and here, playing a game of tug-of-war is represent a force of pull the rope apart so it is a tensional stress.

d) when the compressional stress is like squeezing surface of a body when the force is perpendicular to the body surface. and here Kneading bread dough is represent squeezing the bread dough  so, it  represent a compressional stress.

e) when  the shear stress is that force which affect on the body by slippage on a plane of the body , and here, the slipping on a banana peel is a shear stress as the slipping force on the banana represents the shear stress .

What is archived through the separation of crude oil
Maurinko [17]
I think it's A but here's an explanation anyway: as you heat the crude oil, the different hydrocarbons, having different boiling points, boil and evaporate up the column. Those with lower boiling points, shorter in  chain length, will condense nearer the top of the fractional distillation column. Those that are more viscous, larger in chain size, will have high boiling points, so will evaporate last and condense lower down in the column. Therefore, you achieve all the different oils / materials (oil, petrol, gasoline, tar etc etc). I hope this helps. If not, then a good website to use is 'BBC bitesize, fractional distillation'.

Which of the following statements are TRUE? a. All convergent plate boundaries involve the process of rifting b. All subduction
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

<u>e. All convergent plate boundaries are subduction zones</u>

Explanation:

  • It's well known that any place either on land or ocean when is subdued into the earth's mantle is formed by a subduction zone where the plate boundaries collide either oceanic or continental boundaries this collision can result from the earthquake and volcanic eruptions.
  • These collisions thus lead to the creation of mountains and volcanoes at greater altitudes as the place gets elevated and as a result of the slab push and pull as many earthquakes generally occur in this shallow zone also named as the Benioff zone.
  • Plates dip here at an angle of 45 degrees and thus form these internal subduction zones that lead to lithospheric density differentiation
