<u>Answer:</u>

<em>B. thermal stress</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rocks are weakening due to alternate expansion and contraction of the rocks. Rocks are expanded when it undergoes the high temperature, then it becomes expanded due to distance between the particles which are distant to each other. If winter season comes, rocks undergoes the low temperature then it becomes contracted due to distance between the particles are close to each other. Exfoliation is the one type of mechanical weathering and Halocasty is the one of the physical weathering process.

Suppose a star has the same luminosity as our sun (3.8×1026watts) but is located at a distance of 20 light−years . what is its a
Bas_tet [7]
The apparent brightness is defined by how much light we get pretty much. The formula is:
AB= \frac{L}{4\pi d^2}
This takes into account that the light is spreading out to a sphere that has the surface given by 4πd^2.
We have that d=20 ly and 1 ly is 9.46*10^12 km or 9.46*10^15m.
Hence, d=20*9.46*10^15=189.2 *10^15 m
Now, we can substitute the d value and calculate that L=<span>8.45184* 10^{-10} W/m^2</span>

Valentin [98]

Answer:

 on land but close to oceans

Explanation:

A boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate will be near a coastline., not "far from the coast" or "in the middle of oceans."

Often, mountains are also near that boundary, but mountains may also exist elsewhere, so "anywhere there are mountains" is not an apt description.

The best choice is "on land but close to oceans."

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The 2011 Tohoku earthquake near Japan was offshore by 67 km. It came from the subduction zone where the Pacific plate dives beneath the Eurasian plate. It is an example of a plate boundary quake that occurred offshore, rather than on land.
