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).

zvonat [6]

Answer: C. The overall temperature of the Earth will increase.

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that Earth has a layer, the atmosphere, that is almost transparent to solar radiation, which is composed mainly of shortwave radiation (ultraviolet (UV) and visible light). Then, this layer allows to pass most of the sunlight (visible light and a small part of the UV radiation), without being absorbed.  

When this radiation reaches the Earth, it is absorbed by the water (H_{2}O), soil, plants, animals; well, everything that inhabits and also the buildings. Once this absorption process ends, the light turns into long wave (IR) radiation, generating heat that is then released into outer space and known as albedo.  

However, due to climate change (caused by the humankind), the Earth now tends to absorb more energy than it emits to the space as IR radiation. If this process is mantained for a long term, the planet's global temperature will highly increase.

maksim [4K]

People who have a limited amount of food or resources tend to migrate, which can cause a increase of animal population. Humans are the leading cause of things like deforestation and extinction. Once humans leave, Bled will slowly regain it's natural resources, and animal populations will rise after resources become more common. Eventually resources will no longer be scarce.
