The answers would be:

A. Divergent boundaries

D. Normal faults

If you'd like to know why:

Tension is a type of stress on rocks where the rocks are pulled apart in opposite directions. The rock either stretches or it breaks.

A divergent boundary is a good example. This type of boundary occurs when two plates are pulling away from each other.

A normal fault on the other hand is created when a vertical stress causes the hanging wall to be pushed downwards relative to the footwall.

Notice that in both scenarios, the rocks are pulled apart. Horizontally in the first, vertically in the second.

What is one reason why many geologists did not at first accept the theory of continenal drift ?
Levart [38]

<u>Answer:</u>


<u>The Continental drift</u> is the displacement of continental masses relative to each other. This hypothesis was developed in 1912 by Alfred Wegener, who affirmed <u>that thousands of years ago there was a single and unique supercontinent, called </u><u>Pangea</u><u>, which later became separated. </u>

His formulations were based mainly on the way in which the forms of the continents seem to fit on each side of the Atlantic Ocean, such as Africa and South America. He also took into account the distribution of certain fossils that coincided in continents far from each other.

<h2>At first this approach was discarded by most of his colleagues, because <u>his theory lacked a logical and geological explanation for its epoch. </u></h2><h2></h2>

He proposed that the continents move on another denser layer of the Earth that made up the ocean floor. But it was not until the 1960s, with the development of the theory of tectonic plates, that the movement of the continents could be adequately explained.

The correct answer is D. 59 years and younger.

Explanation

The image shows a pie chart showing the population percentages in Florida in 2013 by age. In this graph there are 5 main groups: Dark blue color that represents the population of 19 years or less, which corresponds to 23.5%; yellow color represents the population from 20 to 39 years old, which corresponds to 25.1%; green color represents the population from 40 to 59 years old, which corresponds to 27.5%; The red color represents the population aged 60 to 79, which corresponds to 18.8%. According to this information, it can be concluded that about 75% of the population is 59 years of age or younger.

This can be verified by adding the percentages of each population 23.5% (19 years or less) plus 25.1% (twenty to thirty-nine years) plus 27.5% (forty to fifty-nine years) add up to 76.1 %.

So the correct answer is D. 59 years and younger.
