The rock goes back to its original shape when the stress is removed. A bend  or fold in the rocks is caused by compression. Folds are easiest to see in sedimentary or volcanic rocks that were deposited horizontally.

Or in easier words, compression can be defined as the action or state of being squished down or made smaller or more pressed together.

skad [1K]

The answer is; the melanin in darkly pigmented skin protects DNA from UV radiation, and UV radiation can cause skin cancer

In Africa, due to its equatorial latitude location, receives direct sunlight at more or less 90 degrees most of the year. These highly concentrated rays increase the UV radiation exposure  that can cause damage to cell DNA. Selection pressure, therefore, favored individuals with high melanin concentrations that protect against UV. Therefore population evolved towards high melanin densities in the skin.

Which statement is true about atoms that are more stable?
Svetlanka [38]
The stability of atoms depends on whether or not their outer-most shell is filled with electrons.  If the outer shell is filled, the atom is stable.  Atoms with unfilled outer shells are unstable, and will usually form chemical bonds with other atoms to achieve stability.
