The answer is c. shear

When earthquakes occurs, rocks are constantly exposed to forces known as stress which cause deformation of rocks that tend to bend, twist, or fracture them. The respond to stress that result to changes in shape, size, or volume are referred to as strain. 

<span> <span><span> <span> If stress act equally from all directions, the applied force is a uniform stress. However, if stress is not equivalent from all directions then it is a differential stress. Moreover, there are various kinds of differential stress namely, tensional stress that causes the rock to stretch, the compressional stress that squeezes the rock and the shear stress which is a consequence of slippage, twisting or transformation of rocks.   </span> </span> </span></span>

brilliants [131]
The correct option is A.
When an end of a tuning fork that is vibrating is placed against a table, it produces a sounder that is dramatically louder than the original sound produced by the vibrating tuning fork. At this stage, the tuning fork is forcing the table to vibrate at its own frequency. Thus, the statement in option A is not true.

William and Quentin are fraternal twins. This means they share, on average, what % of genes with one another?
nordsb [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is 50%

Explanation:

Fraternal twins are the twins which are produced from the fertilization of two different eggs by two different sperms. These eggs are released at the same time.

So as fraternal twins are produced from fertilization of two different eggs therefore they share 50% of genes with each other just like other siblings. They are also called dizygotic twins

Identical twins are produce from a sigle fertilized cell which later divides into two cell mass. Indentical twins share 100% gene. Therefore the correct answer is 50%.
