Strike-slip fault feature the scientist observes.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

+When the blocks moves in a horizontal direction the fractures that occurs vertically refers to the Strike-slip faults . These are the fractures that are almost vertical in direction. These types of faults are due to the forces called shearing forces.  When the block that is present on the far side of the fault moves in the direction of left then such faults are referred as left-lateral.

The faults such as airplane faults, dead sea transform are some of the examples of this type of faults. Here the scientist observes that the movement of the masses of rock follows horizontal direction and also they are opposite to each other. This acts as  an example of Strike-slip fault.

xenn [34]

Answer: Within the next month you should start to feel fluttering sensations.

Explanation: Maternal perception of fetal movement usually begins 16 to 20 weeks after conception. The earliest reported perception of fetal movements is 7 weeks and the latest is 30 weeks with an average of 19 weeks. Fetal movement should be felt by 16 to 20 weeks. If movement is not felt by the end of that time, then further assessment is necessary.

In complete sentences, explain two reasons why the Federal Reserve is made up of system of banks spread across the country.
weqwewe [10]

The Federal Reserve System was created in the early 1900s in an effort to decentralize the central bank. The founders did not want one central bank located in New York or Washington, DC, so they formed a system with 12 district banks. The second reason for the Federal Reserve System was that communication and transportation were much slower and less efficient than today. In an effort to maintain control and offer assistance to member banks, it was necessary to disperse Federal Reserve facilities across the country.

A 6-year-old child has been wetting the bed at night since the birth of a baby brother. what defense mechanism is the child usin
Sati [7]
The correct answer is regression.
The child is regressing to a previous age when he used to wet the bed. He is now six years old, so he is supposed to be old enough not to wet the bed anymore, which was the case until his baby brother was born. Now the older child feels neglected and starts regressing to an earlier age in order to be noticed by his parents again.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

What we can infer from these sentence from the story is:

D. The volunteers planned to connect the refrigerators to a source of electricity.

Explanation:

We can choose the correct option via elimination, after reading the passage. At no point does the passage say anything that would lead us to think the cords and fridges would be used as weapons. Letter A is, thus, eliminated. It also does not mention the amount of time necessary to install all the 60 fridges. We can also eliminate letter B for that reason. Letter C is also wrong, since the lines do not provide us with information about fridges being broken. It is likely some were, but not because we can infer it from the passage.

<u>Letter D is the only correct option. We can infer the volunteers were planning on plugging the fridges to an outlet. Why? Because they were carrying extension cords. That was the whole purpose of carrying them. Otherwise, the fridges wouldn't work. Therefore, we can safely choose letter D.</u>
