The answers would be:

A. Divergent boundaries

D. Normal faults

If you'd like to know why:

Tension is a type of stress on rocks where the rocks are pulled apart in opposite directions. The rock either stretches or it breaks.

A divergent boundary is a good example. This type of boundary occurs when two plates are pulling away from each other.

A normal fault on the other hand is created when a vertical stress causes the hanging wall to be pushed downwards relative to the footwall.

Notice that in both scenarios, the rocks are pulled apart. Horizontally in the first, vertically in the second.

To kill the white pine blister, the forestry department decided to apply pesticide to the trees. They must directly apply the se

Stels [109]

The Forestry Department is using a chemical control method. This involves using a foliar spray method, in which department personnel will spray pesticide directly on the trees’ leaves.

Explanation:

The chemical control method of pesticide control involves spraying chemical pesticides directly on leaves, shoots or roots of the plants. These chemicals are toxic to the pests only and the pests get retracted from the plants because of the pesticides applied.

A selective pesticide application is done to limit application to a target harmful pest which kills only that and does not harm the other useful or harmless species which thrives on the plants.

White pine blister causes rust of the branches and leaves of the pine trees. Hence, a foliar spray of the pesticide is done to control its spread.
