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>

As a student in an environmental science class, you have been asked to explain the greenhouse effect and the problem we face, in
ser-zykov [4K]

C) The increase in greenhouse gas emissions is like placing an extra log on the fire to produce more heat.

Explanation:

The increase in greenhouse gas emission cannot be likened to placing an extra log on the fire to produce more heat.

In essence, the earth is not receiving more heat than usual from the sun. It is not getting more heated.

  • Greenhouse gases prevents heat from being lost from the earth surface as long wave radiation.
  • This in turn will warm and heat the earth surface.
  • The more the greenhouse gases, the more heat that is trapped within the earth.
  • The greenhouse gases is the cover that prevents heat from being lost.
  • Global warming is what results.
  • An increase in heating might not cause warming of the house if the house is open.
  • So also, if the earth receives more energy from the sun, the temperature might not increase if no greenhouse cover is available.

Other analogies shows heating(global warming) and cover(greenhouse gases) except of C.

What is the relationship between water temperature and the brine shrimp and brine flies in the Mono Lake ecosystem?
UNO [17]

Answer:

brine flies prefer warm temperatures to breed in, more brine flies means more food for the brine shrimp, so brine shrimp will be able to breed more as there's more food. and vice versa- in colder temperatures there would be less breeding of the flies, meaning less food for shrimps. therefore less breeding of shrimps)
