Reverse faults are exactly the opposite of normal faults. If the hanging wall rises relative to the footwall you have a reverse fault. Reverse faults occur in areas undergoing compression. If you imagine undoing the motion of a reverse fault, you will undo the compression and thus lengthen the horizontal distance between two points on either side of the fault.
if you stood on the fault plane the block on the right would be under your feet. this is thus the footwall. The tan sandstone has been pushed up and over itself. This offset of the hanging wall indicates that this is a reverse fault.

How could environmental concerns conflict with your desire to improve your stand in living?
Darina [25.2K]

Standard of living refers to the quality, and quantity, of goods and services made available to an individual for his/her consumption. This definition is a general one and is easily understood.

To improve one's standard of living, in accordance with this definition, one needs to be provided with a better quality goods & services , such as advanced electronics and gadgets, or quantity, such as producing more self-care product for consumption.

So how does this conflict with his/her environmental concerns? In order to improve standard of living, there is a few trade offs. To produce more quantity of goods & services, more resources have to be used. This might lead to excessive usage, wastage & depletion of natural resources. For example, to provide more fuel to the society, companies have to extract more & more of fossil fuel. Sustainable usage of natural resources might be a concern, since some types of resources are unrenewable e. g oil & gas.

Production of higher quality products requires advanced state of technology. In the meantime, the use of some technologies aren't exactly environmental friendly i. e it may create pollution. For example, decades ago, manufacturing shirts using traditional methods might not yield consistent results thus the invention of machine helps with increasing the quality, however, results in noise and air pollution. Another example, using air-conditioning instead of hand fan is more effective in coping with hot weather, but greenhouse gas is emitted.

This shows the conflict between environmental concern and the desire to improve standard of living in general.

Hope this helps!

Need all the answers will give 5 stars.
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

1. "a, O, and J"

2. "R and C"

3. I'm not entirely sure about #3, but I believe the answer is "d and R"

4."J, K, I, M, N"

5. "d"

6. "I" explain why: "It is at the bottom, so it is therefore the oldest."

7. "Q" explain why: "It is at the top, so it is therefore the youngest."

8. The folding occured before the faulting. Why? Because the folding is evident in the second half of the fault.

In the Hardy-Weinberg equation shown below, p is the frequency of the dominat allele, and q is the recessive allele
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Option D- frequency of the heterozygous qenotype

Explanation:

In the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium , 2pq stands for the genotype frequency of heterozygotes (Aa) in a population at the state of equilibrium. dominant homozygotes (AA) is represented by the p-square and q- square represents the recessive homozygotes (aa) frequency. p represents the allele frequency of A Allele and q stands for the allele frequency of the allele a. Summation of the terms gives an equal to 1(100%). The sum of all of these terms is always equal to due to the fact that the 3 frequencies in the equation are the available or possible allele combinations.

Hardy-Weinberg is relevant for it helps us in comparison of a population's actual genetic structure as time goes on along with the genetic structure we are to get if really population was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium state that is population was not evolving.
