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

Reil [10]2 years ago
8 0

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.

one car accelerates at half the rate of another how much longer does it take the first car to travel a quarter mile
Orlov [11]

Answer:

t=1/4v1

Explanation:

Given data

Car one

Speed =v1

Time =t

Distance =1/4 mile

Given data

Car two

Speed =v1/2

Time =t

Distance =d

Speed =distance/time

v1=1/4/t

v1t=1/4

t=1/4*1/v1

t=1/4v1 seconds

Suvat
we have s, u, v and we want a
the suvat equation with these values in is: v^2 = u^2 - 2as
so a = (-v^2 + u^2)/-2s 
plug numbers in
a = (-85^2 + 0^2)/-2*36 = 7225/72 = 100.3... ms^-2

Which component of weight is cause for S.H.M of bob simple pendulum
jeka57 [31]

Explanation:

The Simple Pendulum. A simple pendulum is defined to have a point mass, also known as the pendulum bob, which is suspended from a string of length L with negligible mass ((Figure)). Here, the only forces acting on the bob are the force of gravity (i.e., the weight of the bob) and tension from the string.

What is the study of kinematics based upon ?<br><br>thankyou ~​
NikAS [45]

Kinematics is the study of the motion of a system of bodies without directly considering the forces or potential fields affecting the motion. In other words, kinematics examines how momentum and energy are shared among interacting bodies.
