Rocks Under Pressure Quick Check 1 of 41 of 4 Items Question What causes the rock layers of mountains to form zigzag shape?(1 point) Responses folding of rock folding of rock a normal fault a normal fault continental plate uplift continental plate uplift a transform fault a transform fault Skip to navigation

Answer 1

The correct response is folding of rock. When tectonic plates collide, the pressure can cause the rock layers to bend and fold, leading to the zigzag shapes often seen in mountainous regions.

Answer 2

Use this paragraph: Carlon is using two wooden blocks to model the movement of Earth’s plates. He pushes one block forward and the other block backward, rubbing their surfaces together. Which Earth feature is he modeling? (1 point) Responses rift valley rift valley normal fault normal fault thrust fault thrust fault strike-slip fault

Answer 3

Carlon is modeling a strike-slip fault. In a strike-slip fault, two blocks of crust slide past each other horizontally, which is similar to how he is pushing the blocks forward and backward while rubbing their surfaces together.

Answer 4

Use this paragraph: Layla drew a diagram of forces acting on the rock in Earth’s crust. She drew arrows pointing inwards, representing forces pressing on the rock. Which formation is represented by the diagram? (1 point) Responses a mid-ocean rift a mid-ocean rift a transform fault a transform fault a rift valley a rift valley a fold mountain

Answer 5

The forces represented by arrows pointing inwards on the rock in Earth's crust indicate compression. This type of force is associated with the formation of fold mountains. Therefore, the correct response is a fold mountain.

Answer 6

Which feature is created when a block of rock dropped down in relation to the block of rock beside it?(1 point) Responses reverse fault produced by compression reverse fault produced by compression thrust fault produced by compression thrust fault produced by compression transform fault produced by shear transform fault produced by shear normal fault produced by tension

Answer 7

The feature created when a block of rock drops down in relation to the block of rock beside it is called a normal fault produced by tension. In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, typically due to extensional forces (tension).

Answer 8

Which of the following points is a solution to the linear inequality y>19x−29?(1 point) Responses (0,−49) left parenthesis 0 comma negative Start Fraction 4 over 9 End Fraction right parenthesis (0,−13) left parenthesis 0 comma negative Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction right parenthesis (0,−19) left parenthesis 0 comma negative Start Fraction 1 over 9 End Fraction right parenthesis (0,−29)

Answer 9

To determine which point is a solution to the inequality $y>19x-29$, we can substitute the x-coordinate of each point (which is 0 for all the given points) into the inequality and see if it holds true.

1. Point (0, -49): $$y>19(0)-29⟹-49>-29\text{(False)}$$

2. Point (0, -$\frac{4}{9}$): $$y>19(0)-29⟹-\frac{4}{9}>-29\text{(True)}$$

3. Point (0, -13): $$y>19(0)-29⟹-13>-29\text{(True)}$$

4. Point (0, -19): $$y>19(0)-29⟹-19>-29\text{(True)}$$

5. Point (0, -$\frac{1}{3}$): $$y>19(0)-29⟹-\frac{1}{3}>-29\text{(True)}$$

6. Point (0, -29): $$y>19(0)-29⟹-29>-29\text{(False; not greater)}$$

The points that are solutions to the inequality are (0, -$\frac{4}{9}$), (0, -13), (0, -19), and (0, -$\frac{1}{3}$). Any of these would be valid solutions, but if you need to choose just one, you could select (0, -$\frac{4}{9}$) as an example of a valid point.

Answer 10

choose one answer

Answer 11

The best choice from the options provided is (0, -13), as it satisfies the inequality $y>19x-29$.
