What are the different types of faults and their characteristics

Geography
1 answer:
xenn [34]2 years ago
3 0

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.

What is the role of Temperature, density and air pressure in a convection cell?
scZoUnD [109]

Convection is a process which transfers the heat between the temperatures when fluid (i.e. liquid or gas) is in motion. Due to the presence of heat source, water temperature increases and also it will become less dense and rise. Hot air is less dense than cold. When air rises higher in the atmosphere its pressure gets down and it becomes colder.

Which countries in south asia have capitals that are centrally located
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Bangladesh

Nepal

Explanation:

There are eight countries that fall into the region of South Asia. Out of these eight countries, only two have centrally located capitals. Those two countries are Bangladesh and Nepal. Bangladesh's capital is Dhaka, and it is located in the central part of the country. It is the most populated city in the country, and it is also one of the places in the world with highest population densities. Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal. Nepal doesn't really have a shape so that a city can be far away from the borders, but if we look at it in a longitudinal manner, its capital comes to be in the central part of the country. It is by far the most populated city in the country, and it is the political, economic, cultural, administrative center.

Why are summers generally warmer than winters?
andrew-mc [135]
Because the earth's axis is tilted. It is all about the tilt of the Earth's axis. 

During the summer, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a steep angle. The light does not spread out as much, thus increasing the amount of energy hitting any given spot. Also, the long daylight hours allow the Earth plenty of time to reach warm temperatures.

During the winter, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a shallow angle. These rays are more spread out, which minimizes the amount of energy that hits any given spot. Also, the long nights and short days prevent the Earth from warming up. That's why we have winter.

I hope this helped!


Thank you,

Explain how transport and deposition affect the different landforms that occur along the coast?
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Deposition occurs when the sea has less energy, eg in sheltered bays . Material that has been eroded from the coast is transported by the sea and later put down. Longshore drift is a process of transportation that shifts eroded material along the coastline. Swash carries sediment up the beach at an angle.
