In your own words, explain the processes responsible for the formation of a reverse fault.

zzz [600]3 years ago

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 do the adaption of angiosperms make them well suited for land
stira [4]

Answer:

They have adapted to land, adding features such as embryo retention, a cuticle, stomata, and vascular tissue.

Explanation:

Plants haven't always been on the surface of the earth. Life was restricted to water for a long time. The first plants arose from green algae that resembled the Chara in the image above. Bacteria living in water were the earliest photosynthetic creatures. Soon, as algae evolved, and water drifted away, plants were found on land. Land plants had adaptations that would help their future generations.

The populations living on a rough, steep mountain would have a higher rate of speciation than this living in a large, open grass
exis [7]

The correct answer is option C, that is, have a wider range of environments.  

It has been known that geographic isolation is a general way for the initiation of the process of speciation, like the rise of mountains, rivers changing course, migration of organisms, continental drift, due to this what was once a steady population gets differentiated into two or more kinds of smaller populations.  

A mountain range, due to distinctions in temperature and precipitation as a result of different altitudes, can lead to a higher rate of speciation. Due to these differences, a single mountain range can exhibit an enormous array of biodiversity and climate zones.
