marishachu [46]2 years ago

Around 30 million years ago the western u. S. Experience a large amount of crustal extension.

Stretching of the crust causes brittle deformation of the upper crust, breaking into debris oriented perpendicular to the direction of stretching. This can be manifested by a group of faults that slope in the opposite direction (symmetrical) or faults that all slope in the same direction (asymmetric).

Causes of this crustal expansion first discussed in the report include mantle convection, mantle plume, the opposite force of slab pull and ridge push, and gravitational collapse.

Where does the crustal extension occur?

Divergent Plate Boundaries are actively expanding zones due to the inclusion of the newly formed crust in the mid-ocean ridge system in the opening process.

Which of the following fueled the rise of populism
LekaFEV [45]

Where is the following?

Although there are no options, I can still inform you on the answer.

<em>Answer: </em>Populist Party. PBS. The Populist movement was a revolt by farmers in the South and Midwest against the Democratic and Republican Parties for ignoring their interests and difficulties. For over a decade, farmers were suffering from crop failures, falling prices, poor marketing, and lack of credit facilities.

The rise of populism, mostly right-leaning, is the most important European political development of the 21st century. It has eaten into support for traditional center-right parties while dealing a knock-out blow to the center-left.

I hope this helps!
