<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.

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

all of them except the wood

the solar panels, recycled copper plates, and recycled aluminum cups. are all "renewable," solar panels derive power from the sun, a renewable source of energy. the recycled copper plates have it in there name they are recycled, they will be used for a period and then melted down to make more plates or to be used in something else e.g wires. the cups are made from the alloy allumium which in its self is usually recycled but is just like the coper after they are used as the cups they can simply just be melted down to make anything else with the aluminum. wood is not a renewable source because you use it once and it's done.
