If one were to stack layers of thick fabric on top of one another and then push the opposite ends towards each other, resulting

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Folding.

Explanation:

In Geography, folding is a process whereby rock layers bend due to compressional forces.

Just as described in the question above, compressional forces mean that the two ends of the rock layers are being pushed inwards towards each other. The rock layer, just like the cloth layer described above, responds by bending or rumpling.

Hope this Helps!!!

This article includes a list of general references, but it remains largely unverified because it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations. (August 2008)

The three-sector model in economics divides economies into three sectors of activity: extraction of raw materials (primary), manufacturing (secondary), and service industries which exist to facilitate the transport, distribution and sale of goods produced in the secondary sector (tertiary).[1] The model was developed by Allan Fisher,[2][3][4] Colin Clark,[5] and Jean Fourastié[6] in the first half of the 20th century, and is a representation of an industrial economy. It has been criticised as inappropriate as a representation of the economy in the 21st century.[7]

According to the three-sector model, the main focus of an economy's activity shifts from the primary, through the secondary and finally to the tertiary sector. Countries with a low per capita income are in an early state of development; the main part of their national income is achieved through production in the primary sector. Countries in a more advanced state of development, with a medium national income, generate their income mostly in the secondary sector. In highly developed countries with a high income, the tertiary sector dominates the total output of the economy.

The rise of the post-industrial economy in which an increasing proportion of economic activity is not directly related to physical goods has led some economists to expand the model by adding a fourth quaternary or fifth quinary sectors, while others have ceased to use the model.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

Wheels Working Together The Mayan Calendar consists of three separate corresponding calendars: the Long Count, the Tzolkin (divine calendar), and the Haab (civil calendar). Each of them is cyclical, meaning that a certain number of days must occur before a new cycle can begin. The three calendars are used simultaneously.

HELP ME 45 PTS!!!!! Compare and contrast how light waves are

pickupchik [31]

Explanation:

When light shines on an object, it is reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through the object, depending on the object's material and the frequency (color) of the light. ... However, because light can travel through space, it cannot be a matter wave, like sound or water waves.

When parallel light rays hit a concave mirror they reflect inwards towards a focal point. Each individual ray is still reflecting at the same angle as it hits that small part of the surface. ... Light rays travel towards the mirror in a straight line and are reflected inwards to meet at a point called the focal point. Opaque objects block light from traveling through them. Most of the light is either reflected by the object or absorbed and converted to thermal energy.

Also, when light is reflected from a mirror, it bounces off at the same angle in the opposite direction from which it hit. ... If the surface is concave, or curved inward, a group of light rays from a distant source is reflected back toward a single location known as the focal point
