Answer:
Egypt is A, Nation-state.
Answer:
The most recent eon is subdivided into three eras and eleven periods.
Explanation:
The geological time scale has been constructed so that it can help in better research and understanding of the past, as well as making it easier to distinguish the past and its characteristics at a certain time. There are larger and smaller divisions in the geologic time scale, with the eon being the largest unit, followed by era, and then period.
The most recent eon is the Paherozoic, starting from 542 million years ago and still going on. It is subdivided into three eras and eleven periods so far. The three eras are:
- Paleozoic
- Mesozoic
- Cenozoic
The eleven periods are:
- Cambrian
- Ordovician
- Silurian
- Devonian
- Carboniferous
- Permian
- Triassic
- Jurassic
- Cretaceous
- Tertiary
- Quaternary
Answer:
Normal faults form when the hanging wall drops down. The forces that create normal faults are pulling the sides apart, or extensional.
Reverse faults form when the hanging wall moves up. The forces creating reverse faults are compression, pushing the sides together.
Trans current or Strike-slip faults have walls that move sideways, not up or down.
Explanation:
Tectonic plates are parts (pieces) of the outermost layer of Earth: the Crust. (the outermost part of the mantle is also often included in the plates). This means that the land in the middle of the plates is relatively stable while the borders of the plates can be in movement - after all this is where two pieces meet. Plate borders are where the vocanoes and Earthquakes often take place.
When plates move away from each other it can cause rift valleys to form.
