In geology, a fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock across which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock-mass movements. Large faults within the Earth's crust result from the action of plate tectonic forces, with the largest forming the boundaries between the plates, such as subduction zones or transform faults.[1] Energy release associated with rapid movement on active faults is the cause of most earthquakes. Faults may also displace slowly, by aseismic creep.[2]

A fault plane is the plane that represents the fracture surface of a fault. A fault trace or fault line is a place where the fault can be seen or mapped on the surface. A fault trace is also the line commonly plotted on geologic maps to represent a fault.[3][4]

A fault zone is a cluster of parallel faults.[5][6] However, the term is also used for the zone of crushed rock along a single fault.[7] Prolonged motion along closely spaced faults can blur the distinction, as the rock between the faults is converted to fault-bound lenses of rock and then progressively crushed.[8]

  1. The necessary means to make fossil fuel consumable energy is heat burns the source to make it energy

  • 1  Water, at the top of a waterfall controlled by a dam, has potential energy.
  • 2  As water moves down the waterfall, the water’s potential energy from its earlier position transforms into motion/kinetic energy.
  • 3   The falling water lands on a turbine which spins a generator.
  • 4   As the turbine (generator) turns, it moves copper wire along a magnet which creates a flow of electrons (electricity), which is then transferred to a wire.
  • 5  The electricity travels through wires from the generator in the hydro-station to your house, and the wires continue behind the walls in your home to your electrical outlets.

     Hydro:  Because it would take to much to set up a bunch of turbines even though its renewable, people don't have lakes or river in the city therefore its inefficient there .

     Wind: Its not always windy so when wouldn't always be able to power your electricity.

      Solar power:  Would be very expensive to set up solar powered consumers every where and you  would not have electricity at night when the sun goes down so therefore it would be inefficient.

  •  Question 11) Coal and things like wen use today which is probably a limited source but a reliable one.

  •    Part 2:  Its so dependable because it is able to keep our lights and things on now and there's plenty of it at the time .

12: Yes because if we drained all from ne source it would be out pretty soon.

   13: I'm not sure sorry but here's what I think

Chemical (potential)

Thermal

Motion

Electricity

  14:

  • We need it to power the other wires that gives us light power to things like gas pumps and electronics

  • It helps get water to peoples house with powering pumps

  • It goes all through the city to ensure that we are able to do things like have lights to see at night and so on

                   I HOPE THIS HELPS IT TOOK A WHILE :D
