Answer: In case of a river that is flowing over a fault in a perpendicular manner, if earthquake triggers, then it will be affecting the block in such a way that one block will move up whereas the other block will move down.

Due to this shifting of the block, the river channel will also experience an abrupt change in its gradient. The steepness of the river at that point will increase or the river level may also get shrink to a certain extent.

How is coal, petroleum, and natural gas formed underground?

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Like coal and natural gas, petroleum was formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms, such as plants, algae, and bacteria. Coal, natural gas, and petroleum are all fossil fuels that formed under similar conditions. Today, petroleum is found in vast underground reservoirs where ancient seas were located.
