Answer:

The correct option is D: Faults form because crust gets cracked when plates move apart along divergent plate boundaries.

Explanation:

Options A and B are incorrect because even though tectonic plates are constantly moving and crashing against each other at convergent plate boundaries, it is not responsible for causing an earthquake. Option C is also incorrect in the context of the question statement merely colliding does not result in an earthquake.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Answer:

Faults form because crust gets cracked when plates move apart along divergent plate boundaries.​

Explanation:

Due to the movement of the plates in two different directions, the crust gets cracked and this leads to the formation of divergent boundaries that pulls the two sides apart, and as a result, the earthquakes are created and some of them may occur in the same location. Rift valleys are also formed by this process.

Which factor causes the shapes of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids to differ?
lidiya [134]

The answer is option C. Number of double covalent bonds between carbon atoms is responsible for causing different shapes of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. The double covalent bond causes kink in the unsaturated fatty acids because of which their stacking is disrupted and they become loosely packed. The problem with double covalent bond is that unlike single covalent bond it can't rotate and has almost cis-configuration. This is also the reason behind their liquidity at room temperature.
