To estimate minimum horizontal stress in the field the leak-off-test (lot) and mini-frac tests are practiced by companies. with a simple pressure-time plot, explain how the magnitude of minimum horizontal stress is estimated from these two field tests. also, compare the advantages and shortcomings of each method.
the information obtained from which of the above two field tests (i. e. lot and mini-frac) will allow to estimate the magnitude of the maximum horizontal stress assuming the formation strength properties are known? support your answer by referring to the pressure-time plot and justify your statements.

i believe that if you say you can, you cant and if you say you can't your right. i believe i can do anything i set my mind to. i've applied this with my everyday life. it me get motivated to do stuff.for example, i apply this to do school. if i believe i can finish a whole class in a couple of week's i will be motivated to do the class until i finish it, and if i believe i can't, i will get distracted and do other stuff besides doing my work. it changed me by believing i can accomplish anything i set my mind to.

a mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. this uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.a geomagnetic reversal is a change in a planet's magnetic field such that the positions of magnetic north and magnetic south are interchanged.
