A thrust fault is a reverse fault with an extremely high dip (close to 90°). This is the false statement.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Faults are the fracture or fracture zone occurring on the rocks. These fractures can travel through the rocks leading to massive destruction. So, depending upon the direction of their travel, the faults can be classified as normal, reverse and strike slip fault. Also, the angle of dip along the fault is one of the important criteria for determining the type of faults.

There is dip-slip fault which has its movement along the vertical fault plane while the strike slip fault will be in horizontal direction. Similarly, an oblique fault will be acting in both vertical and the horizontal direction. So, the fourth statement related to thrust fault is false as in reverse fault or thrust fault the dip will be shallow and not high.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Cheetah cubs are in danger from predators like lions and hyenas which can track their prey by scent and so the mother and her cubs leave an area when their scent is too strong so that they are not hunted and the cubs survive.

Mother Cheetahs also train their cubs to hunt so that they may get food for themselves which will ensure their survival as well thus showing that both of these practices can impact on reproductive success.

Explain what a concentration gradient is and what it means for a molecule to diffuse down its
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

Explanation:

A gradient of concentration is the difference between in concentration of one place / area substance to different area. Having a molecule flow down its concentration gradient means moving the molecules from hypotonic areas to the concentration hypertonic areas

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

In chemical compounds, atoms tends to have the electron configuration of a noble gas.

Explanation:

The noble gases are unreactive because of their electron configurations. This noble gas neon has the electron configuration of 1s22s22p6 . It has a full outer shell and cannot incorporate any more electrons into the valence shell.

The octet rule states that atoms tend to form compounds in ways that give them eight valence electrons and thus the electron configuration of a noble gas. An exception to an octet of electrons is in the case of the first noble gas, helium, which only has two valence electrons.

can somebody help me answer this question? A car went from 110 m/s to 80 m/s in 20 seconds. What was the acceleration of the car
gogolik [260]

Answer:

-1.5m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration can be thought of as [Change in Velocity]/[Change in time]. To find these changes, you simply subtract the initial quantity from the final quantity.

So for this question you have:

  • V_i = 110m/s
  • V_f = 80m/s
  • t_i = 0s
  • t_f = 20s

which means that the acceleration = (80-110)/(20-0)[m/s²] = (-30/20)m/s² = -1.5m/s²
