Answer:

Air lifted by local surface heating.

Explanation:

Air usually flows vertically, which we call lift. But, air doesn't lift all by itself, it needs help. The processes that lift air, are known as lifting mechanisms.

Convectional lifting is related to surface heating of the ground surface air. Convective uplifting occurs as the sun warms the air above the ground and starts to rise. Air rises and cools, clouds forming and precipitation.The cycle of heating up a parcel of air by conduction on the surface, then the whole parcel rises into the atmosphere as it is colder than the ambient air.

In equiangular triangle  ABC,

∠B = ∠C

∴ Side AB = AC

4x-10 = 5x-22

22-10 = 5x - 4x

12 = x

Therefore,  the value of x = 12

How do normal faults differ from reverse faults?
LiRa [457]

The correct answer is - 5) At a normal fault, tensional stress causes the hanging wall block to move downward with respect to the foot wall block. Conversely, at a reverse fault, compressional stress causes the hanging wall block to move upward with respect to the foot wall block.

Both the normal faults and the reverse faults are dip-slip faults, meaning that they experience vertical movement which is inline with the dip of the fault. Both of them can be identified by the relative movement of their hanging walls and foot wall.

The normal faults have a hanging wall that is moving downwards relative to the foot wall. This kind of movement is caused by extensional tectonics, or rather by tensional stress. The faulted section of the rocks is lengthened because of this type of processes.

The reverse faults have a hanging wall that moves upward relative to the foot wall, thus the total opposite of the normal fault. This kind of movement is caused by the compressional tectonics. The faulted section of the rocks shortens under this type of processes.
