I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The <span> idea of plate tectonics was difficult for many scientists to accept for many years after it was first introduced because there </span><span>was no explanation yet for how it was happening. It was only to the recent times that these were proven. </span>

Katena32 [7]
This causes reverse faults<span>, which are the reverse of </span>normal faults<span>, because in this case, the hanging wall slides upward relative to the footwall. Shear </span>stress<span> is when rock slabs slide past each other horizontally. There is no vertical movement of either the hanging wall or footwall, and we get a strike-slip </span>fault<span>.</span>

Compare the kinetic energy of a 20,000-kg truck moving at 110 km/h with that of an 80.0-kg astronaut in orbit moving at 27,500 k
laiz [17]
Kinetic energy is the energy that is possessed by an object that is moving. It is calculated by one-half the product of the mass and the square of the velocity of the object. We calculate as follows:<span>

For the truck,
KE = mv^2 / 2
KE = 20000 kg (110 km/h (1 h/3600 s)(1000 m / 1 km))^2 / 2
KE = 611111.11 J

For the astronaut,
KE = 80.0 kg (27500 km/h</span>(1 h/3600 s)(1000 m / 1 km)<span>)^2/2
KE = 611111.11 J

The kinetic energy possessed by the two bodies are the same.
