<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Continental accretion

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The collision and joining of crustal fragments to a continent is called the continental<em><u> </u></em><em><u>accretion</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Accretion is the process through which materials such as sediment, volcanic arcs, or seamounts or blocks,  etc. are added to the tectonic plate or land mass.</u></em> Many astronomical bodies, such as stars, galaxies or planets are formed by this process.
  • Where the process of accretion has occurred the tectonic plates may have dense basaltic rocks which are indicative of oceanic lithosphere.

The table represents the forces on four objects, with directions. Object F1 ↑ F2 → F3 ← F4 ↓ W 30 N 20 N 20 N 30 N X 15 N 35 N 2
Reika [66]

When the magnitude of all opposing forces is equal, then the force is called balanced. The forces on W and Y are balanced while the forces on X and Z are unbalanced.

<h2>Net Force:</h2>

It is defined as the vector sum of all forces acting on the object. The forces with the same magnitude in the opposite direction cancel each other.

<h3>Balanced force: </h3>

When the magnitude of all opposing forces is equal, then the force is called balanced.

<h3>Unbalanced force: </h3>

When a force is more than the opposing force, the force is called unbalanced.

Therefore, the forces on W and Y are balanced while the forces on X and Z are unbalanced.

What orientation of velocity and acceleration will cause something to initially speed up?
Temka [501]
-- If acceleration and velocity are in the same direction,
then the object is speeding up.

-- If acceleration and velocity are in opposite directions,
then the object is slowing down.

-- If acceleration is perpendicular to velocity, then the object
is moving on a circular curve at constant speed.
