Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Historical geology usually refers to the study of the changes and the variation that occurs at or below the surface of the earth. In simple words, it mainly involves the study of past events. This includes the variation and evolution of different life forms that existed on earth over a time of about 3.8 billion years until the present. It basically comprises the important part of geology namely Paleoclimatology, Paleontology and Paleoseismology. This historical geology is also known as Paleogeology.

Thus, historical geology involves the biological changes that occur over a definite time.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

Mining and petroleum activities affecting land and vegetation, how?​
AveGali [126]

Answer:

1. Mining.

Mining affects the land by creating loss of biodiversity, sinkholes, mudslides and contamination. That’s just a few affects mining can have on the land.

2. Petroleum.

The main risk that happens when extracting petroleum are oil spills. Some of the worst oil spills in history have caused major fires, explosions, and contamination in the area where they are at. What’s worse is that innocent little animals get caught in those oil spills and die.

Hope this helps and pls mark me brainliest if it did :)

Would you rather live downwind of a nuclear power plant or downwind of a coal-burning power plant? Explain the reason for your c
OleMash [197]

Answer:

downwind of a nuclear power plant

Explanation:

Living in close proximity to a nuclear power plant or coal-burning plant is not something that would be preferable by most people, especially when it comes to living on the downwind side of them, but if I had to choose it will be living downwind of a nuclear power plant. The nuclear power plant is not a polluter of the air, so living downwind of it will not be a problem for the human health. The coal-burning plant, on the other hand, is one of the heaviest polluters of the air, as it releases enormous amounts of carbon dioxide. This will have very negative effects to the human health, so it is a situation to be avoided if possible. The nuclear plant does comes with a risk, as most things, but the chances are very small that a catastrophe will occur, and even if it does, it doesn't really matter on which side of it the people are living if they are in the same area as the plant.

How do normal faults differ from reverse faults?
LiRa [457]

The correct answer is - 5) At a normal fault, tensional stress causes the hanging wall block to move downward with respect to the foot wall block. Conversely, at a reverse fault, compressional stress causes the hanging wall block to move upward with respect to the foot wall block.

Both the normal faults and the reverse faults are dip-slip faults, meaning that they experience vertical movement which is inline with the dip of the fault. Both of them can be identified by the relative movement of their hanging walls and foot wall.

The normal faults have a hanging wall that is moving downwards relative to the foot wall. This kind of movement is caused by extensional tectonics, or rather by tensional stress. The faulted section of the rocks is lengthened because of this type of processes.

The reverse faults have a hanging wall that moves upward relative to the foot wall, thus the total opposite of the normal fault. This kind of movement is caused by the compressional tectonics. The faulted section of the rocks shortens under this type of processes.
