The answer is Silicates

Basically, the moon is made up of similar ingredients as the earth because it is formed from the same remains of an impact that destroyed the earth. Among the more abundant elements known to be present on the moon’s surface include, silicates, which are anions that contain both silicon and oxygen. The same way they are in abundance on the moon is the same way they are in abundance on earth and make up approximately 90% of the earth’s crust

Are geologic structures like folds and faults in any way related to plate tectonic processes? Explain.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

<u>Yes , They are architectural structures that shape the geology of earth.</u>

Explanation:

These geologic structures influence the shape and size of landscape development and determine the degrees to landscape hazards. Folds and faults and other geologic structures accommodate large forces/stress on earth's tectonic plates.

Foldes are of two types such as Syncline and Anticline. Formed due to the crustal bending and wrapping of the geo sediments or rocks. The youngest at the top and the oldest at the bottom. As antiforms contain comparatively younger folded rock strata.

Faults are a planar surface within the earth, where the rocks have slid or broken a fault may be caused due to the elastic strains on the rocks, the rocks on either side are shifted in opposite direction and the faults get induced.

There are many types of faults and folds in the history of the earth's surface, many of these have led to the formation or shaping of mountain ranges and various mountain chains.
Another example can be of Mount Everest which is a young folded mountain formed from the colloid of the Tethys sea when India was once a part of the Australian continent.
