Folds are bends in rocks that are due to compressional forces. Folds are most visible in rocks that layered (also known as sedimentary rocks). Folds are formed when heat and pressure is applied to the rock. The higher the temperature, the more pliable rocks become. Folds are more likely to occur when the deformation caused by the compression is applied slowly.

If the pressure (compression) that is applied to a rock undergoing a fold is greater than the internal strength of the rock, then the rock will fracture. This is how faults are formed. Faults are defined as the displacement of rock that were once connected along a fault line.

Answer: A fold in rock is defined as the the bending of one or stack of rocks that were originally flat and previously had planar strata. It is caused as a result of permanent deformation. The size of fold varies in rocks. It can range from a microscopic crinkles to a large mountain.

A fault in rock is defined as a discontinuity or fracture of a volume of rock. They are formed as a result of displacement of rock mass movement. A fault in rock can be one of the main reason for Earthquake.

3. What is the diameter of the field of view (DFV) of a 1000x objective lens if the DFV of a 400x objective lens is 500 μ? Expre
charle [14.2K]

Answer and Explanation:

If an objective lens of 400x has a DFV of 500цm

then what would be the DFV  of 1000x=?

1000*500/400

=1250цm

1mm=1000цm

?      = 1250цm

1250*1/1000

=1.25mm

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Golgi apparatus

Explanation:

Based on what Tristan is doing, he is most like the Golgi apparatus. This is an organelle that is found in almost all eukaryotic cells, and whose main responsibility is packaging proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell which are later rerouted by the vesicles to their final destination. Which is almost exactly what Tristan is doing as he is preparing the gifts (proteins) and takes them to the post office (vesicles), which they will then take to the packages' final destination.
