I hope this helps, and Happy Holidays! :)
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.
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.

Explanation:
What is the inferred pressure and temperature found at 2500 km beneath the earth surface?
Answer:
Density, Temperature, and Pressure all increase. The pressure at the boundary between the mantle and the outer core of Earth is inferred to be approximately... 1.4 million atmospheres. What is the inferred temperature at the boundary between Earth's stiffer mantle and outer core?

HOW DOES ALTITUDE AFFECT 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.

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?
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.
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?
Answer: folding, followed by erosion
Explanation:
which factor of production includes water, oil, trees, and wildlife?
Answer:
The first factor of production is land, but this includes any natural resource used to produce goods and services. This includes not just land, but anything that comes from the land. Some common land or natural resources are water, oil, copper, natural gas, coal, and forests.
Imagine, it is 50 years in the future and there are numerous seismic monitoring stations on Mars. A marsquake (earthquake, but on Mars) originates at Olympus Mons, the blue triangle on the map. Both S and P waves from the marsquake are detected everywhere there is a green on the map. But neither S nor P waves are detected where there are red x signs on the map. What does this tell the future scientists about Mars
Answer:
That the waves on mars can either sometimes be false Or they are too small to be tracked.
