Ulleksa [173]3 years ago

The Earth is far enough away from the sun to not be burned like Mercury or Venus, but close enough to not be freezing cold like Mars. Earth's position in the solar system is very important for our survival.

ikadub [295]

The faults in which the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall is called normal fault.

Explanation:

There are several types of faults based on their characteristics. One of them is the normal fault, or normal dip-slip fault. The main characteristic of this fault is that its hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, while the footwall tends to move up relative to the hanging wall. The force that creates this type of faults is the vertical compression as the crust of Earth is lengthening.

  • These faults can be found all over the world, and they are actually the most common type of faults.
  • The normal dip-slip faults are bounding big portion of the mountains, as well as rift valleys.
  • As these faults progress with their formation, with the footwall going up, and the hanging wall going down, the footwall becomes a hill or a mountain, while the hanging wall becomes a valley.
  • The normal dip-slip faults can be found at all types of tectonic plate boundaries.

Why do you think that people of every nationality and ethnicity live in Hong Kong (At least 3 sentences in your own words).
rusak2 [61]

Despite Hong Kong historically being part of China and being inhabited by Chinese people, that drastically happened in the last century. Hong Kong got into the hands of the European colonial powers, and even after they left the area, they didn't left Hong Kong. The reason why the presence in Hong Kong was kept was because of its excellent strategic position.

The newly formed nation had excellent ports and excellent location. It was quickly industrialized. That led to rapid economic growth. The economic growth and the prosperity of the small nation made, as well as it deep connections with the Western World, attracted lot of people to move in it. The Chinese population is still dominant, but over time people from all over the world moved in, thus the ethnic structure of this nation changes significantly, to a point where now it has citizens from pretty much every corner of the world.
