The three types of stress that act on Earth's rocks are compression, tension and shear. Among all the options that are given in the question, the correct option is option "D". These kind of stress action creates the rocks to break in a natural way. The earth's rocks sometimes collide with one another, pull apart from each other and sometimes slide against each other. Whenever two rocks collide with each other, they create a compression force. When the two rocks of the earth tries to pull away from each other, it creates a tension force. The sliding of two earth's rocks creates a shearing force.

Calculate the rate of heat conduction through a layer of still air that is 1 mm thick, with an area of 1 m, for a temperature of
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The rate of heat conduction through the layer of still air is 517.4 W

Explanation:

Given:

Thickness of the still air layer (L) = 1 mm

Area of the still air = 1 m

Temperature of the still air ( T) = 20°C

Thermal conductivity of still air (K) at 20°C = 25.87mW/mK

Rate of heat conduction (Q) = ?

To determine the rate of heat conduction through the still air, we apply the formula below.

Q =\frac{KA(\delta T)}{L}

Q =\frac{25.87*1*20}{1}

Q = 517.4 W

Therefore, the rate of heat conduction through the layer of still air is 517.4 W

In comparison with other ocean basins, major sedimentary features such as continental rises and abyssal plains are relatively ra
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Why are continental rises and abyssal plains relatively rare in the Pacific? This is because the extensive system of trenches along the active margins of the Pacific, trap much of the sediments flowing off the continents, preventing them from building the broad, flat abyssal plains typical of the Atlantic ocean basins.

An astronaut is a short distance away from her space station without a tether rope. She has a large wrench. What should she do w
Hitman42 [59]

Answer: b. Throw it directly away from the space station.

Explanation:

According to <u>Newton's third law of motion</u>, <em>when two bodies interact between them, appear equal forces and opposite senses in each of them.</em>  

To understand it better:  

Each time a body or object exerts a force on a second body or object, it (the second body) will exert a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first.  

So, if the astronaut throws the wrench away from the space station (in the opposite direction of the space station), according to Newton's third law, she will be automatically moving towards the station and be safe.
