Answer:

C) Lithostatic pressure

Explanation:

An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. The surface where they slip is called the fault or fault plane.

In the Earth the pressure due to the weight of overlying rocks is a uniform stress and is referred to as confiningstress. If stress is not equal from all directions then the stress is a differential stress. Three kinds of differential stress occur. Shear stress, which result in slippage and translation.

Why does the density of a substance remain the same for different amount of the substance
tresset_1 [31]

Think of it this way: 
-- Any time you have something that means (some number) PER UNIT,
it doesn't matter how many units there are on the table or in the bucket,
because that amount doesn't change the (number) PER UNIT.

-- If oranges cost $1 PER POUND, it doesn't matter how many pounds
you buy, the whole bagful is still $1 PER POUND.

-- If a certain salad dressing has 40 calories PER Tablespoon, it doesn't
matter whether you eat a drop of it or drink the whole jar.  You still get
40 calories PER Tablespoon.

-- Density means '(mass) PER unit of volume'.  Whether you have a tiny
chip of the substance or a whole truckload of it, there's still the same
amount of mass IN EACH unit of volume.

Explaining How Momentum Can Cause
Ghella [55]

Answer:

The astronaut can throw the hammer in a direction away from the space station. While he is holding the hammer, the total momentum of the astronaut and hammer is 0 kg • m/s. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum after he throws the hammer must still be 0 kg • m/s. In order for momentum to be conserved, the astronaut will have to move in the opposite direction of the hammer, which will be toward the space station.

State Newton's three laws of motion.​
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Newton's first law states that, if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass. Acceleration of an object depends on two things, force and mass.

Newton's third law states that if an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A. This law represents a certain symmetry in nature: forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.
