The type of fault which occurs during an earthquake where the hanging wall slides upward relative to the footwall is known as a reverse fault.

<h3>What is a Reverse Fault?</h3>

This refers to the type of fault where the hanging walls appear to have been moved up a footwall.

With this in mind and from the given description, we can see that when an earthquake occurs, there is the movement of the hanging wall that moves upwards along the footwall, this is known as a reverse fault.

Think about the rain shadow effect. Explain how the Earth’s systems (spheres) are interacting.
Svetach [21]
Well, the hydrosphere is moving water to provide life for the biosphere. the geosphere is blocking the rain from the hydro and atmosphere from producing life past where it is blocking, so, in essence, the hydrosphere is "moved" into the atmosphere, where it drops onto the geosphere, creating the possibility for life in the biosphere everywhere that is not being "bullied" for lack of better term by the mountains blocking rain.

More than 75 percent

Explanation:

Let us carefully analyze this problem:

The half life of the rubidium isotope = 50 billion years

   The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time it takes for it to decay to half of its original amount.

  Every 50years, we know that a rubidium isotope would split into half.

Initially when the isotope was formed, we would only have the parent atoms there. There wont be any daughter;

  ratio of parent to daughter = 100 : 0

When the isotope decays to half; we would have equal number of parent and daughter:

  ratio of parent to daughter at half life = 50 : 50

The age of the earth is about 4.6billion years;

this is;

          \frac{4.6}{50} x 100 = 9.2% of the half-life of the rubidium isotope.

At this time, we should know that only 9.2 percent of the daughter would have been formed.

The remaining parent would be 100 - 9.2 = 90.8% would still be left undecayed.

The ratio of parent to daughter  = 90.8 : 9.2

This is more than 75% of the parent
