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.

The main advantage banking services offer is?

KATRIN_1 [288]

In short, and in general:

Advantages

Credit Unions typically pay higher dividend rates on savingsCredit Unions typically offer lower rates on loansCredit Unions typically provide better service; since they are owned and governed by their membership, they tend to prioritize the needs of their members above all elseCredit Unions operate on a not-for-profit business model, so excess earnings are returned back to the membership in form of competitive rates and lower fees, and sometimes even special dividendsMany Credit Unions offer the same products and services found at banksCredit Unions often have added-value benefits, such as free financial education, discounted theme park tickets, and special member rates for services such as home alarm systems...even discounts at online retailers like Barnes & Noble.Disadvantages

Credit Unions, and in particular smaller local credit unions, struggle to match the level of convenience (ATMs and branches) that many banks provide their customers, although many CUs are part of shared networks which enhance the breadth of delivery channels available to their membersSome Credit Unions are limited in their product offeringsOne must qualify for membership One must pay a membership fee to join. hope this helps!

A train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going from 94.0 km/h to 46.0 km/h in the 17.0 s that it takes to round

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

1.41 m/s^2

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert the two speeds from km/h to m/s:

$u = 94.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h} = 26.1 m/s$
