<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>D. Shear stress</u> results when two plates slide past one another.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The two slide plate pass each other at the transform boundary. This shearing causes transform fault which may sometimes occur in fractured zones with different offsets or in deep-sea trenches in the subduction zone.

According to some research, the plate pull increases the concentration of shear stress creating a strike-slip fault and earthquakes on the transform fault. They are found in the deep ocean on the divergent boundary or on the margins of the plate tectonics on land margins. On land margins, the earthquake is the most destructive.

Of all the following processes which one increases the salinity of water? A. Icebergs melting B. Runoff C. Sea ice melting D. Ev

nika2105 [10]

Answer: EVAPORATION.

Explanation: Salinity can be defined as the saltiness or the concentration of salt dissolved in a body of water. Measured in grams of salt divided by the kg of water.

Evaporation increases the salinity of water. Basically, evaporation is the process of converting liquid into gaseous state. In essence, concentration of a solution can be increased by evaporation and since the salinity of water is measured in grams of salt divided by the kg of water, therefore, the lesser the amount of water per salt, the higher the salinity.
