3. It's because of the heat underneath the crust of the Earth. Because heat rises, the molten rock and such underneath the crust rises to the top and then the movement underneath causes things on top to move. 

4. Plates are the different sections that the lithosphere has been cracked into. These plates once all fit together as a giant plate called Pangaea. 

5.  An earthquake is a sudden, sometimes violent shaking of the ground, as a result of the shifting of tectonic plates, or volcanic eruption. 

6. On the magnitude scale, earthquakes range from 2.5 or less (usually never felt but strong enough to be detected by seismograph) to 8.0 or higher. Causes extreme damage; enough to destroy whole cities at once if close enough to the epicenter. 

7. Depends on what kind you're looking for. I'd look it up for your specific topic.

8. To apply a forces to something, usually resulting in a stretch.

9.  The action of compressing something, to flatten or squeeze by pressure

10. A strain on the layers of something because of pressure, resulting in the shifting of those layers.

11. In areas undergoing extension or stretching. It's when the crust is extended. 

12.  The hanging wall drops relative to the footwall. 

13. This is what happens when the hanging wall <u>rises</u> relative to the footwall. (The opposite of a normal fault)

Sahara Desert
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

I would say all three describes the Sahara. Dry, thin soil sounds like sand, which is the soil in the Sahara Desert. This ecosystem definitely has a small amount of rain; that's what defines a desert. Along with that, the Sahara is also very diverse, inhabited by many organisms, from bugs, snakes, and other reptiles to rabbits, jackals, foxes, and even camels. Hope this helps!
