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

Physics

Reil [10]3 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.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Water level remains unchanged

The first thing to realize is that the buoyancy force is the same as, or equal to the weight of the wood, this same force is also the same as or equal to the weight of the water displaced by the wood. In the two cases, the weight of the wood will be unaffected nonetheless, and thus the water level will remain the same.

Therefore, the answer is B, the water level remains unchanged.

9. Since current is the rate at which charge is flowing, if the current in the circuit decreases, what does that mean about the
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Electric current is defined as the rate of flow of electric charge in a circuit from point one point to another. This is carried by electrically charged particles within the circuit. Current is represented by the symbol I and its unit measured in Amperes. It is therefore related to the voltage and resistance of the circuit. If the current in the circuit reduces, the rate at which the charge and current on the capacitor reduces also proportionally in an exponential manner.

Explanation:

Since a decrease in the flow of current in the circuit is observed, the implication for the rate at which the charge and voltage on the capacitor is also an exponential decrease in the rate of flow with time. This is because the electric current is directly proportional to the electric charge and the time.

KIIS FM broadcasts at 102.7 MHz, what is the wavelength of that radio wave?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

2.92 m

Explanation:

As we know, frequency × Wavelength = Speed of light

so here frequency of 102.7 MHz can be written as 102.7× 10⁶ Hz..

So Lambda (wavelength) = 3×10⁸/ 102.7 × 10⁶ which gives 2.92 metres or 2.92 × 10¹⁰ Å
