Explanation:  Fractures are mechanical breaks in rocks involving discontinuities in displacement across surfaces or narrow zones. Fracture is a term used for all types of generic discontinuities. This usage is common among scientists inside and outside the earth sciences and is used in other chapters of this report. However, different kinds of fractures exist, with different geometries, mechanical effects, and flow properties. Based on the nature of the displacement discontinuity, commonly encountered fractures can be classified into three geologically based major groups: (1) dilating fractures/joints, (2) shearing fractures/faults, and (3) closing fractures/pressure solution surfaces.  Drainage pattern is the pattern formed by the streams, rivers, and lakes in a particular drainage basin. They are governed by the topography of the land, whether a particular region is dominated by hard or soft rocks, and the gradient of the land.

"choosing is refusing" means individuals face an opportunity cost with each decision they make. economists state that every decision involves trade-offs. opportunity cost is the least desirable alternative given up as a result of a decision.
