Explanation:

A fault is a product of brittle deformation in  which a displacement occurs within the earth.

A normal and reverse fault both have an hanging wall and a foot wall.

  • In a normal fault, the footwall moves upward and the hanging wall moves downward thereby causing extension.
  • In a reverse fault, the footwall moves downward and the hanging wall moves upward thereby causing shortening.
  • The footwall is the block on a side of the fault surface where a miner can stand whereas the hanging wall is the block on the other side.

How does the physical geography of South Asia impact human cultures? Write 1 paragraph (5-8 sentences).
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The geographic term “Asia” was originally used by ancient Greeks to describe the civilizations east of their empire. Ancient Asian peoples, however, saw themselves as a varied and diverse mix of cultures—not a collective group. Today, the term “Asia” is used as a cultural concept, while subregion classifications describe the distinct geopolitical identities of the continent. These classifications are Western Asia, Central Asia, Southern Asia, Eastern Asia, Southeastern Asia, and Northern Asia.
