A scientist observes rock masses that have moved past each other in opposite horizontal directions. Which feature

Physics

Answer:

C. strike-slip fault

Explanation:

The scientist must have observed a strike- slip fault.

A fault is an evidence of brittle deformation of the crust in the presence of applied stress on earth materials. Here, the earth material is the rock subjected to tension.

Where a fault occurs, there must have been movement between two blocks of rocks. The direction of movement helps us to delineate the fault type.

  • When two blocks moves past each other horizontally, it is a strike-slip fault like rubbing your palms together.
  • When a block moves in the direction of the dip, it forms a dip-slip fault which results in a fault-block mountain characterized by graben and horst systems.

Option A, Plateau is a table landform usually a mountain with flat peak.

Option B is a bowl shaped stratigraphic pattern in which the youngest sequence is at the core of the strata or a fold.

So, the most fitting option is C, a strike-slip fault.

Describe how sound waves are produced
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Sound waves are produced when something vibrates.  

Explanation:

The vibrating body causes the medium (water, air, etc.)  Vibrations in air are called traveling longitudinal waves, which we can hear. Sound waves consist of areas of high and low pressure called compressions and rarefactions, respectively.

Los ácidos nucleicos y las proteínas comprenden una red de biomacromoléculas que almacenan y transmiten información que sustenta la vida de la célula. El estudio de estos mecanismos es un campo llamado biología molecular. El desarrollo de esta ciencia siempre ha ido acompañado de avances técnicos que permiten romper barreras metodológicas para probar hipótesis novedosas. Entre los métodos disponibles para los biólogos moleculares, destacan cinco: electroforesis, secuenciación, clonación, transferencia y reacción en cadena de la polimerasa. Su impacto llega a la genética, la medicina y la biotecnología. Aquí, se revisan la relevancia histórica, los fundamentos técnicos y las tendencias actuales de estos cinco métodos esenciales. La revisión pretende ser útil tanto para estudiantes como para científicos profesionales que buscan adquirir conocimientos avanzados sobre el valor de estos métodos para investigar los mecanismos moleculares que sostienen la vida.

A robot standing on a cliff shoots a ball upwards with an initial speed of 30 m/s. What is the height of the cliff given that th
valina [46]

Answer:

C 80 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 30 m/s

a = -10 m/s²

t = 8 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (30 m/s) (8 s) + ½ (-10 m/s²) (8 s)²

Δy = -80 m

The ball lands 80 m below where it started.  So the height of the cliff is 80 m.
