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).

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The gravitational potential will change more on  earth.

Explanation:

The gravity on the moon is only 17% of that of earth's because the earth has way more mass. Since the gravitational potential depends on the mass of the human and the height of the ladder, and both things will remain equal, no matter where they are, so we could assume that the gravitational potential energy will change more on earth.
