Answer:

The tectonic plates are always slowly moving, but they get stuck at their edges due to friction. When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel.

kogti [31]

Answer:

MARS

Explanation:

Mars represents the 4th planet of the solar system, being next to the earth. It is comprised of a hard and solid surface and the average surface temperature of Mars is extremely cold, which is roughly about -60°C. The atmosphere of Mars is very thin, which is dominantly comprised of CO₂ gas (almost 95%), along with some molecular Nitrogen (3%) as well as there is the presence of Argon (2%). In addition to this, it is also composed of dust clouds within its atmosphere. There is the absence of a magnetic field in Mars, due to which the solar wind highly affects the atmosphere of Mars.

PLEASE HELP ME NOW!!!! (NOT FOR BEGINNER)
Semenov [28]

Answer:

1. C.

2. D

3. D.

4. D.

Explanation:

1. Landslides can be initiated in slopes already on the verge of movement by rainfall, snowmelt, changes in water level, stream erosion, changes in ground water, earthquakes, volcanic activity, disturbance by human activities, or any combination of these factors.

2. Landslides are geologic phenomena that can happen suddenly or through imperceptively slow downslope movement. ... A "translational" landslide can happen rapidly and result in all of the soil on a hillside being stripped off and filling the area at the bottom of the slope.

3. Sedimentary rock contains fossils because it was built up layer upon layer, often trapping and preserving animals, plants, footprints, and more within the layers of sediment.

4. The Uplift of the Colorado Plateau. The Kaibab Limestone, the uppermost layer of rock at Grand Canyon, was formed at the bottom of the ocean. ... The action of plate tectonics lifted the rocks high and flat, creating a plateau through which the Colorado River could cut down.
