The correct answer is - True.

The strike-slip faults can be found in numerous places around the word, accompanying the plate boundaries. These type of faults are also known with the terms wrench faults, transcurrent faults, or lateral faults.

What is characteristic to this faults is that the rock masses on either side, move in opposite direction to one another, thus slide past each other. With other words, the rock masses are moving in a horizontal manner.

The formation of this type of faults is due to the horizontal compression. Because of the horizontal compression, the energy released from them is also going horizontally, almost parallel to the compression forces.

<u>Answer:</u>

Rising sea levels recorded due to melting glaciers can be considered an observable indication of global warming

<u>Explanation:</u>

The glaciers in the sea are melting due to global warming.This is occurring due to the increase in the global temperature. Year after year, higher temperatures are being recorded and this heat in turn is melting the Arctic glaciers thus adding on to the level of the oceans.

The increased temperature will also disrupt the fauna and floral life. All automobiles don't necessarily have to contribute to global warming. There exist eco-friendly automobiles as well.

Oh What do you know bout how light bounce off mirrors
Anastaziya [24]

The bending of light rays  happens when the light rays hits an object. It moves in various directions thereby letting us to view that object that the bounced off.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Light gets reflected to human eyes and other body parts, when they hit a flat mirror. The bouncing off is not accurate in human heads and other parts that faces the mirror. The refracted rays from human bodies starts to hit at different angles in the mirror and are reflected back accurately. This is the reason for the backward appearance of mirror images to human eyes.

The light is reflected backward to the point behind the mirrors that are of Convex type. Hence the obtained image will be smaller and farther that its originals. The light will be drawn into the mirror's center point and hence the resultant image will be larger than the original object because of the light reflected by a concave mirror type.
