The negative effects of geological structures in our environment can be landslides occurring on unfavorably oriented geological structures causing damage and sometimes loss of life on highways and railways, for example.A positive effect of geological structures is that where there are subduction zones, mineral deposits can form above them on the adjoining continents like in British Columbia on the west coast of North America. Also, faults and fractures can allow hydrothermal fluids charged with metals to form ore deposits.

Answer: subduction zone (pro) land sliding (con)


Explanation: The negative effects of geological structures in our environment can include land sliding. As a matter of fact, it is a major problem because it usually occurs in mountainous areas, and when land sliding does occur, it causes major damage and loss of lives as well.

The positive effects of geological structures in our environment can include land subduction zones, where mineral deposits can form above them.

Earthquake waves that vibrate from side to side and up and down only through solids are known as ______.
attashe74 [19]
<span>Earthquake waves that vibrate from side to side and up and down only through solids are known as secondary waves, or simply S-waves. As you can see in the question, they pass through solids - to be more precise, they flow through rocks and cause them to change their shape. They are quite strong, but not as strong as primary waves, as they cannot pass through liquids or gases. </span>

How were the fossil symbols and mountain belts helpful in deciding where to move the continents
givi [52]
<span>Fossils symbol and mountain belts are very important for geologists in deciding where to move the continents.
 Fossils and mountain belts can give the geologist ideas about the history of the certain continents and what are the animals that stayed and died in that place.
Both can also help the geologists to identify if the particular continent is a safe place to live on because the animals of a long time ago stayed on that place. So maybe the place is safe from water high tide and is not a moving plates.</span>

On a sunny day, would the air over a piece of land be cooler than the air over a bordering lake?
sammy [17]
Yes because the cool air from a near by water source migrates toward the land to take the place of the hot air rising while the air over an area of water would be warmer because it is absorbing solar energy from the sun
