What are three differences between brittle and plastic strain (may include both characteristics of the strain as well as the conditions and locations where each type of strain occurs), and give an example of the type of structure (deformation feature) associated with each type of strain. Make sure you clearly identify which type of strain is associated with each different trait and feature.

Answers

Answer:

elastic deformation: the rock returns to its original shape when the stress is removed.

plastic deformation: the rock does not return to its original shape when the stress is removed.

fracture: the rock breaks.

Explanation:

Stress is the force applied to an object. In geology, stress is the force per unit area that is placed on a rock. Four types of stresses act on materials.

A deeply buried rock is pushed down by the weight of all the material above it. Since the rock cannot move, it cannot deform. This is called confining stress.

Compression squeezes rocks together, causing rocks to fold or fracture (break) (figure 1). Compression is the most common stress at convergent plate boundaries.

Rocks that are pulled apart are under tension. Rocks under tension lengthen or break apart. Tension is the major type of stress at divergent plate boundaries.

When forces are parallel but moving in opposite directions, the stress is called shear (figure 2). Shear stress is the most common stress at transform plate boundaries.

Stress In Earth’s Crust

Enormous slabs of lithosphere move unevenly over the planet’s spherical surface, resulting in earthquakes. This chapter deals with two types of geological activity that occur because of plate tectonics: mountain building and earthquakes. First, we will consider what can happen to rocks when they are exposed to stress.

Do you think migration was a voluntary move or involuntary? Why?​

Answers

Answer:

People who flee persecution and violence in their own country are considered asylum seekers while the people who decide to move to another country in order to seek employment and better life opportunities are considered migrants. Migrants can be legal, moving threw documentation. Migrants are usually people with a strong resources in order to prepare their journey and arrival in the country of the destination. They save money, they gather the information about the trip and the destination and about the potential employment there, like how mast Europians or Asians come to america. They speak to friends and family at the destination who will help them upon arrival. They may speak to travel agents, potential employers at destination or middlemen of different sorts. They may try to learn the language of the destination country. In short, migrants clearly make decisions and take up the actions in order to prepare for their migration. This does not necessarily mean their migration is voluntary. The reasons for leaving their country of origin may have to do with circumstances that are beyond their the control. Migrating is not a decision taken easily, it involves high costs. They may do this to help family

It can be both

People either can be made to move involuntarily, or forced, or are put in situations that encourge relocation, or reluctant, or if they choose to migrate ,or voluntary.

What do you know about the rock cycle and the three type of rocks?

Answers

Answer:

There are three main types of rocks: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. Each of these rocks are formed by physical changes—such as melting, cooling, eroding, compacting, or deforming—that are part of the rock cycle. Sedimentary rocks are formed from pieces of other existing rock or organic material

If a rock started with 1,000 atoms of a parent but now contains 250 atoms, how many half lives have passed?
a. 0.5 half lives.
b. 1 half life.
c. 2 half lives.
d. 0.25 half lives.

Answers

Answer:

Option C. 2 half lives.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Original amount (N₀) = 1000 atoms

Amount remaining (N) = 250 atoms

Number of half-lives (n) =?

Half-life is defined as the time taken for the substance to reduce to half its original side. Mathematically, it can be obtained as follow:

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N is the amount remaining.

n is the number of half-lives.

N₀ is the original amount.

Using the above formula, we can obtain the number of half-lives as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 1000 atoms

Amount remaining (N) = 250 atoms

Number of half-lives (n) =?

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

250 = 1/2ⁿ × 1000

Cross multiply

250 × 2ⁿ = 1000

Divide both side by 250

2ⁿ = 1000/250

2ⁿ = 4

Express 4 in index form

2ⁿ = 2²

n = 2

Therefore, it will take two (2) half lives for the amount to get to 250 atoms.

In case the question gets cut off: which world map below shows the locations of major plate boundaries where most earthquakes and volcanoes occur on earth?

Answers

Answer:

The map labeled with 1 shows the major plate boundaries and where most of the earthquakes and volcanoes occur.

Explanation:

The map labeled with number 1 is showing us the plate boundaries. This can easily be confirmed as the lines that are drawn are in the exact same places where the plate boundaries are located. The plate boundaries are the places that are tectonically the most active on Earth, with earhtquakes and volcanoes being a regular occurrence.

Not all plate boundaries though have around the same intensity of earthquakes or number of volcanoes. This is due to the difference in plate boundaries. At the convergent plate boundaries (depending is it between two continental, continental and oceanic, or two oceanic) there can be the formation of volcanoes or mountain ranges, with earthquake activity varying a lot. At transform boundaries, there isn't volcanic activity but there are a lot of earthquakes. At divergent boundaries, earthquakes are rare, but there is intense and constant volcanic activity.

HOW DOES ALTITUDE AFFECT YOUR BREATHING?

Answers

When you are going towards the mountain, you are requiring more oxygen and it’s more pressure that it affects your breathing.

Answer:

In higher altitudes, the air is usually colder, less dense, and has less oxygen molecules. This means that if you were there, you would need to take more breaths to get the same amount of oxygen as you would at lower altitudes. Higher elevation makes it even harder to breathe.

Make two sentences for each of the following using:  (i) too, and (ii) not……. enough.

You can't drink wine every day. It's expensive

Answer:

You can’t drink wine every day. It’s expensive.

Wine is too expensive to drink every day.

Wine is not cheap enough to drink every day.

Explanation:

Not enough and too are used to describe something as inadequate.

If the amount of something is more than what we would like we can use the too + adjective form, which only applies in negative circumstances, such as the wine being too expensive. But we can also use the not + adjective + enough form to talk about something that hasn´t reached the desired level.

Adding a small amount of water to a substance increase its cohesion; whereas, adding a lot of water decreases its cohesion. Why?

a. A small amount of water will precipitate cement into the pores of the material, whereas too much water will not allow that coment to form.
b. A small amount of water increases surface tension and holds the grain together Too much water between the grains wil eliminate suface fordion.
c. Water has a small electrostatic force that disrupts the gravitational attraction of the grans and forces them to move away from each other.
d. A small amount of water decreases surface tension, allowing the grains to bond together, whereas too much water will increase surface tension and force the grains away from each other.

Answers

Answer:

b. A small amount of water increases surface tension and holds the grain together Too much water between the grains wil eliminate suface fordion.

Explanation:

The increase in cohesion between substances with the addition of a small amount of water is directly related to the increase in surface tension that water causes in this substance. However, with the exaggerated addition of water, superficial lust will not be able to be formed efficiently, or in any way, and therefore cohesion will be difficult.

A segment has midpoint at (2,-4) and an endpoint at (5,-9). What are the coordinates of the other endpoint?

Answers

Answer:

The coordinates of the other endpoint are (-1,1).

Explanation:

Mid point = (2,-4)

One endpoint = (5,-9)

We need to find the coordinates of the other mid points. Let it is (x₂,y₂). Using the mid point formula to find it.

[tex]\text{Mid-points}(x_m,y_m)=(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex]

We have, [tex]x_m=2, y_m=-4, x_1=5, y_1=-9[/tex]

[tex]\text{Mid-points}(2,-4)=(\dfrac{5+x_2}{2}, \dfrac{(-9)+y_2}{2})\\\\\dfrac{5+x_2}{2}=2\ \text{and}\ \dfrac{y_2-9}{2}=-4\\\\5+x_2=4\ \text{and}\ y_2-9=-8\\\\x_2=-1\ \text{and}\ y_2=1[/tex]

So, the coordinates of the other endpoint are (-1,1).
