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.

The frigid temperatures have allowed a lake to become ready for people to ice fish on it. What process has the lake undergone? ​
Burka [1]

Answer:

When the entire lake reaches 40 F, the surface water cools further, dropping below 40 F. Because this water is now less dense than the surrounding water, it will stay on the top and continue to cool. Once the surface water falls to 32 F, it freezes. The freezing then spreads downward into the lake and the ice thickens

The discovery that Earth's inner core rotates independently of and more quickly than Earth's outer layers is responsible for adv
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

In the above-given question,

Option (B) is wrong with it's usage of the modifier "how'' in the sentence. If the modifier is used in one place (how heat from the inner core flows), it should also be used in the continuing clause (how the formation and periodic reversal).

Options (C) and (D) are wrong in using the word "are" for the whole sentence as there is no need to use this word. The verb form will depend on the subject, in this case, is "the discovery that earth's inner core" which is singular in nature. Thus, the verb form will be -is and not -are.

Option (E) is wrong for it's use of the comma. If the comma is used, then the whole sentence is not a full-fledged sentence but rather a dependent clause with no resolution.

The correct answer for the given passage is option (A).
