Ahmed emigrated from his war-torn country to the United States three years ago. Recently, he found a job working on an assembly line at an electronics manufacturer. When he came to the U. S., Ahmed left his friends and family behind. Now he is lonely and hopes that his fellow employees will accept him so that he can build some lasting friendships. According to Maslow, Ahmed is looking to satisfy his:A) self-actualization needs. B) safety needs. C) physiological needs. D) social needs.

D) social needs.            

Explanation:                                  

Social needs: In psychology, the term "social needs" is described as one of the different needs in the "Hierarchy of needs theory" which was introduced by Abraham Maslow. Safety needs refer to the needs that an individual desires to possess relationships with some other person once he or she met the safety and the physiological needs. Safety needs are also denoted as the love and belonging needs.

According to Maslow, safety needs play a crucial role in an individual's psychological development as an individual's relationship with the other person helps him or her to reduce the emotional problems or concerns, for example, anxiety or depression.

In the question above, the given statement represents safety needs as Ahmed desires to have long-lasting friendship with his fellow employees.

the correct answer is 2.

a slump in geology means a mass movement process of slope failure. a mass of rock or unconsolidated material drops along a slip surface. in other words, rock layers move a short distance down the slope. the slump block is an intact block (2), without any landslide material.

in this image, 1 is the surface of rapture (scarp), 2 the slump block, 3 main scarp (crown), 4 base of rapture with debris flow.

slumps are caused by clear cutting on unstable soils and the sagging of earth, in coastal areas they are due to wave infiltration.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
