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

What is the best unit to use when measuring the mass of a mineral sample?
Ksivusya [100]
Measuring density: Measure the mass (in grams) of each mineral sample available to you. The mass of each sample is measured using a balance or electronic scale. Record mass on a chart.

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:4-strikes the plane at same time as the other body

Explanation:

Given

If both bodies is falling on a horizontal plane and second body is given an acceleration in horizontal direction then it does not change the time to reach the Horizontal Plate as there is no change in vertical direction.

Horizontal acceleration will give only horizontal range and horizontal velocity.

Suppose that you are standing on a train accelerating at 0.20g. What minimum coefficient of static friction must exist between y
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Acceleration = (0.2 x g) = 1.96m/sec^2. 
<span>Accelerating force on 1kg. = (ma) = 1.96N. </span>
<span>1kg. has a weight (normal force) of 9.8N. </span>
<span>Coefficient µ = 1.96/9.8 = 0.2 minimum. </span>

<span>Coefficient is a ratio, so holds true for any value of mass to find accelerating force acting. </span>
<span>e.g. 75kg = (75 x g) = 735N. </span>
<span>Accelerating force = (735 x 0.2) = 147N</span>
