Question

Where does uplift occur? Where does subsidence occur?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: 1.- The transforming edges, of two tectonic plates. 2.- The dissolution of the limestone, and the formation of tectonic graves.

Explanation:

The mechanically rigid outer layer of the Earth, the lithosphere, is fragmented into pieces called tectonic plates.

These plates are rigid elements that move in relation to each other following one of these three patterns: converging edges, in which two plates approach; divergent edges, in which two plates are separated, and transforming edges, in which two plates slide laterally to each other. Along these plate edges, earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain formation and oceanic pit formation occur.

A subsidence of land is a movement of the earth's surface in which the descending mummy sense predominates and takes place in areas of different characteristics and slopes.

Among the main causes of the subsidence of land can be mentioned the dissolution of limestone, which is calcium carbonate, by the action of groundwater.  

The response of geological materials to distensive tectonic efforts, for example to the formation of tectonic pits, which can eventually lead to cracks.

The answer is: 1.- The transforming edges, of two tectonic plates. 2.- The dissolution of the limestone, and the formation of tectonic graves.

Answer 2

Uplift occurs are converging tectonic plate boundaries and at faults with compressional forces. As two tectonic plates collide, usually, the continental plate os folded due to the pressure hence causing uplift. At reverse faults, the compression causes the earth’s crust to uplift causing a hanging wall over the footwall.

Subsidence also occurs at convergent plate boundaries. The oceanic plate is usually the one that subsidies under the tectonic plate during the collision because it is heavier. SUbsience also occurs at normal faults where the two crust moves away from each other causing a chunk of the crust to subside. The hanging wall goes lower in elevation in comparison to the footwall.
