Answer:

d.all of the above

Explanation:

Geological fault is the rupture or splitting of a block of rocks or narrow bands of the surface that is responsible for the displacement of its parts. The accumulation of energy and its eventual release in geological fault zones is one of the factors responsible for the occurrence of earthquakes.

The types of geological fault vary according to the criteria used in their classification. In the present approach, they are typified in three different forms: normal, reverse, and transcurrent.

In the normal type fault, the split occurs when a block “descends” or lowers from the fault surface. This occurs when the pressure exerted on the region causes a negative tension.

In reverse-type failure, splitting occurs when a block “rises” in relation to the fault, raising its surface. This happens when tectonism causes a tension responsible for compressing the space occupied by the rock layers.

In the transcurrent fault, also called horizontal fault, there is a parallel movement between the two blocks, which can be caused by inverse vectors of horizontal forces applied on each rock segment.

Answer:

Places around Cairo and Aswan are the largest concentrations of people in the region.

Explanation:

Concentration means how spread out things are in space. They could either be clustered or dispered. The purple on this map represents clustered, and as you can see, that Cairo is the largest city and the capital of Egypt, which is one reason why it has the largest concentrations of people.

Answer: wind flows from areas of high to medium pressure at the earth's surface.

Explanation:

Pressure pattern drive wind pattern which in turns drives oceanic pattern.

Wind at the surface of the Earth flows from areas of high to medium pressure. The wind speed is determined by difference in barometric pressure between the linear distance and air columns over which the transition takes place.

Determine whether the following statements about sympatric speciation are true or false. a. Sympatric speciation only occurs in

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The true statement is - Sympatric speciation only occurs in areas where there is local variation in environmental resources

Explanation:

Sympatric speciation means the evolution of new species from an ancestor species which are occupying in the same area and no geographical barrier takes place.
Overlapping of ranges takes place to the organism and old and new species are living i the same geographical region.
A dam diving a fish population could lead to allopatric speciation where geographical barrier causes formation of new species which are completely different from their ancestor species.
