The best answer is D.

Stress is a force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume. Because stress is a force, it adds energy to the rock, which is stored in the rock until either the rock breaks or changes shape.

There are three kinds of stress, namely shearing, tension and compression.

Shearing-  force that pushes a mass of rock in two opposite directions and can cause rock to break and  slip apart or change shape.

Tension -  force that pulls on the crust, stretching rock so that it becomes thinner in the middle.

Compression - force that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks

Why is it important to have a balanced centrifuge?
ratelena [41]

It is important to properly balance a centrifuge because an unbalanced machine can damage the rotor, cause catastrophic damage to the machine itself, or even injure or kill lab personnel working in the room. Balancing a centrifuge involves spreading the weight of the samples across the entire rotor.

An object has a mass of 120 kg on the moon. What is the force of gravity acting on the object on the moon? A. 12.24 N B. 196 N C
Lady_Fox [76]
Correct answer: B
The force of gravity acting on the object on the moon can be found by multiplying its mass by the acceleration due to gravity on the moon. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is a constant and is approximately 1.63m/s².
120kg×1.63m/s²=195.6kg.m/s²
kg.m/s²=N
<span>The force of gravity acting on the object on the moon would be of approximately 196N.</span>

The picture below shows a person exploring an underwater cave in Florida.
lubasha [3.4K]
Underwater caves in Florida are primarily formed due to the abundance of limestone layers just situated below the ground, forming the "Floridan Aquifer." Layers of these limestones are believed to be thousands of meters thick. When rainwater is being seeped into the ground, it softens the calcite present in limestones due to its acidic nature until it is dissolved. This leads to the formation of cavities and tunnels which eventually becomes an interconnected network of passages over time. As water continues flowing through these passages, which builds up from the bottom of these cavernous empty spaces, underwater caves are then formed. Therefore, the first choice is the answer.
