C) accretionary-wedge complex.

Explanation:

The accretionary wedge complex is a thick accumulation of sediments and small tectonic blocks formed from materials scraped off subducting oceanic lithosphere at a convergent margin.

Space between the subducting plate and the less dense plate gets filled by sediments scraped off the subducting plate and this forms a wedge like sediment called the accretionary wedge.

  • The accretionary wedge is invariably made up of materials found on the ocean floor.
  • Under extreme conditions, some parts of wedge transforms into metamorphic rocks.
  • The wedge is made up of: pelagic sediments, ocean floor basalts e.t.c

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

B. decreases while his angular speed remains  unchanged.

Explanation:

His angular speed will always be the same as the wheel's angular speed, which remains constant as it's in uniform motion. As for linear speed, which is defined as the product of angular speed and distance r to the center of rotation, and his distance to center is decreasing, his linear speed must be decreasing as well.
