The answer is normal fault. A normal fault occurs when the hanging wall falls below the footwall and where there are extension forces on the fault in the crust. These forces lengthen the faulted section of rock. This is unlike in reverse fault that shortens the faulted section of rock and forces the hanging wall to move up in relation to the footwall. An example of a normal fault is the Great Rift Valley in Africa.

Answer:

The tomatoes didn't come from the Old World during The Columbian Exchange.

Explanation:

During the time of The Columbian Exchange, thousands of goods found their way across the Atlantic, be it from one side or the other. This was very beneficial for both sides, with the Old World and the New World getting goods that imporoved the lives of the people. One of the most popular and nowadays among the most used goods, the tomato, came from the New World and was introduced in the Old World.

The tomatoes originated as a wild plant in the Andes, on the territories of modern-day Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. The people living in this region saw their potential and started to cultivate them, and seeing what a delight they are, other people from other parts of the New World started to cultivate them as well. The people of the Old World though were skeptical about the tomatoes initially and were not very fond of them, and they even thought that when they start to go red they are getting spoiled. Over time, this changed as people saw that they have a wonderful food product, so the tomato became one of the most popular goods.
