<span>The best answer is (d) water from snowmelts. The American Southwest has many mountains that catch moist air moving westward (from the Pacific) that falls as snow during the winter. The snow melts gradually during the spring and summer when there is little precipitation. The melted snow runs off the mountains into rivers and streams that can be tapped by irrigation pumps. The snowmelt also sinks into the ground, replenishing underground aquifers that can be tapped by wells in the valleys where farming takes place.</span>
Answer:
Normal fault
Explanation:
Tensional stress occurs as a result of forces which could be wind, water etc pulling the rocks apart and forming faults. Faults are also known as a type of fracture which occurs between rocks.
Tensional stress along a fault can result in a dropped hanging-wall block relative to the footwall side(in a perpendicular position) thereby producing a normal fault.
