A fault in which the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall is a ______.

Geography
1 answer:
Phoenix [80]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

The fault usually refers to the planar type of fractures that occurs in the earth's crust. Those faults in which the hanging-wall (H.W) block goes down with respect to the foot-wall (F.W) block is considered as the normal fault. This type of fault occurs due to the tensional force or extensional force.

Here, the rocks move in the opposite direction. This movement of blocks results in the release of a certain amount of energy that leads to the occurrence of shallow-focus earthquakes.  

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Which force acts an an object to move it from rest or a constant, straight-line motion?
Tema [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Balanced forces/Resultant force/ Newton's first law/law of inertia.

<h3>Explanation:</h3><h3>Balanced forces/Resultant force/ Newton's first law/law of inertia:</h3>

It says that each article will remain in its state of rest or similar motion in a straight line except a resultant force works on it. It is known as the law of inertia.

The inertia of the body is the hesitation of the target to alter its state of peace or movement.

The inertia of an article depends on its size. The greater the body, the greater the inertia. It shows it is difficult to start moving, stop, slow down, speed up or change direction. Force is required to overcome inertia.

2 1. Scattering cross-section of acrosol particles is 2.5E-12 m , absorption cross-section is 0.45E- .2 12 m Concentration of pa
Alona [7]

Answer:

T = 3.23 \times 10^{-83}

Explanation:

thickness of aerosol layer is 2.5 km

zenith angle is 40 degree

we know that

\tau = \epsilon_{ext} . h

where

\epsilon_{ext} = N.\sigma_{ext}

\epsilon_{ext} is extinction coefficient

\sigma_{ext} extiction cross section

N = Concentration

\sigma_{ext} = (2.5 + 0.45)\times 10^{-12} m^2

                     = 2.95 \times 10^{-12} m^2

\epsilon_{ext} = 2\times 10^7 \times 2.95 \times 10^{-12} m^2 \times m^{-3}

                       = 5.9 \times 10^{-5} m^{1}

\tau = 5.9 \times 10^{-5} m^{-1}  \times 2.5\times 10^3 m

        = 14.75\times 10^{-2}

transimiitance T  = e^{\frac{-\tau}{\mu}}

                       T  = e^{\frac{- 14.75 \times 10^{-2}}{cos 40}}

T = 3.23 \times 10^{-83}
