The answer is D - Faulting of rock in the Earths crust.

Explanation:

A fault is a planar fracture/discontinuity in a volume of rock in which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock mass movements.

Large faults within the earths crust result from the action of tectonic forces with the largest forming boundaries between the plates. Examples of this are subduction zones - (the lithosphere slides under the earths crust) or transform faults - (a fault which the motion is mainly horizontal.

In conclusion, the energy released from the continued movement of an active fault is the main reason for many of your major earthquakes.

A rectangular tank measuring 12 m length, 8 m width and 6 m height is being filled with water at a rate of 550 Literminute−1 . W

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

It will take 720 minute to fill the tank

Explanation:

We have given that length of rectangular tank l = 12 m

Width w = 8 m

Rate at which water is filled in the tank = 550 l/min

And rate at which water come out from the tank = 150 l/min

So net rate of filling the tank = 550-150 = 400 l/min

Height up to which we have to fill the tank h = 3 meter

So volume of the tank $V=12\times 8\times 3=288m^3$

We know that $1m^3=1000liters$

So $288m^3=288000liters$

So required time to fill the tank $time=\frac{288000}{400}=720 minute$
