<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.

Match the drawback of each historical source to its correct historical record type.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Photograph: bird's eye view of a site; interview: personal analysis and biased; tax records: limited accessibility; biography: unreliability of human memory.

Explanation:

There are generally always some drawbacks when considering different sources of historical information and a good researcher has to take these factors into account. Photographs are limited because they give you very little context. Interviews can be limiting because you get a personal view from just one individual. Tax records are likely protected due to privacy concerns and statutes. Biography can have drawbacks as well because the person may embellish past events or overemphasize the significance or attribute meaning in ways that are not entirely truthful or objective.

continental drift was first proposed by a scientist named alfred . he theorized that the were once one large landmass that drift
asambeis [7]

Answer: large-scale horizontal movements of continents relative to one another and to the ocean basins during one or more episodes of geologic time. This concept was an important precursor to the development of the theory of plate tectonics, which incorporates it.The idea of a large-scale displacement of continents has a long history. Noting the apparent fit of the bulge of eastern South America into the bight of Africa, the German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt theorized about 1800 that the lands bordering the Atlantic Ocean had once been joined. Some 50 years later, Antonio Snider-Pellegrini, a French scientist, argued that the presence of identical fossil plants in both North American and European coal deposits could be explained if the two continents had formerly been connected, a relationship otherwise difficult to account for. In 1908 Frank B. Taylor of the United States invoked the notion of continental collision to explain the formation of some of the world’s mountain ranges.
