A plateau forms when a flat block of rock is uplifted, and a fault-block mountain does not.

Explanation:

How is a plateau different from a fault-block mountain?

A plateau forms when a flat block of rock is uplifted, and a fault-block mountain does not.

Answer from: karyvillanuevap5w9ym

The uplift process of the flat rock block causes the formation of the plateau.

Option C

Explanation:

When a flat block of rock is uplifted, the plateau is formed. But through this process, fault-block Mountain is not formed. Fault Block Mountain is formed by simultaneous upward and downward movement of the fault.

This way when one side is pushed upward, the other side falls down, causing the formation of the fault-block mountain. For example: the Sierra Nevada, the mountain at North America.

Answer from: Quest

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

$f\alpha \frac{dp}{dt}$

⇒ $f= k \frac{dp}{dt}$

here k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

$f=\frac{dp}{dt}$

$f= \frac{d[mv]}{dt}$

$f= m\frac{dv}{dt} +v\frac{dm}{dt}$

$f=ma+v\frac{dm}{dt}$ [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
