Answer: normal fault

A fault refers to a planar or curved fracture in the rocks of the Earth crust, in which compressional or tensional forces results in the displacement of the rock on the opposite side of the fracture. Fault may vary in the length of the fracture. A normal fault is a fault in which the hanging wall of the rock moves downward to the footwall. It occurs when the two blocks of rock are separated apart by the tensional forces.  

On the basis of the above information, the normal fault is the fault that should be found by the geologists in the rock.

Answer:

normal fault

Explanation:

In geology, faults are places where there are discontinuities in the volume of rocks or the ground, they can be caused by several different reasons the largest faults are created in places where two tectonic plates meet and collide, a normal fault happens when the hangin wall moves downward from the footwall at an angle.

A sample of C3H8 has 3.28 × 1024 H atoms. How many carbon atoms does the sample contain? What is the total mass of the sample in
sammy [17]
To find the number of carbon atoms, we <span>multiply </span>the 3.28x10^24 by the ratio, 3/8. The total number of carbon atoms is 1.23 x 10^24 atoms. The total mass of the sample is each number of atoms divided by avogadro's number and multiplied by the molar mass of each. The total mass is 29.96 grams.
