Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

The earth is comprised of a series of alternate basin and range at many places. These are formed due to the extensional force exerted on the crust from both the sides. Due to this, the crust gets stretched and under the influence of gravity, the heavy block moves downward relative to the other along the fault plane. This type of fault where one block (Hanging wall) goes down relative to the other (Footwall) is generally called a normal fault. The nearby block on the adjacent side remains stable and forms a hill. When this occurs in series, it results in the formation of basin and range.

Thus, it can be considered that the earth's basin and range topography is a result of vertical movement that arises along a fault plane.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

List three ways that Europe has changed since the Cold War
german

The late 20th century was a time of major geopolitical upheaval in Eastern Europe. The fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 put an end to the Cold War and the divisions that dated back to the Second World War. 1 The fall of the Communist bloc brought about the end of a bipolar world built around the rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union. 2 Economic and military structures such as Comecon (the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance) and the Warsaw Pact were dissolved in 1991. 3 The events of the late 1980s marked the beginning of improved relations between two parts of the continent that had long been divided.
