Answer:

The given statement is True

Explanation:

Generally, basin and range areas of the world are mostly the direct outcome of the geological factors that underlie most notably -tectonic extensions. These have started 17 million years back and are  the outcome of lithosphere and earth crust being pulled apart due to tectonic movement. By the passage of time with progressive crust movement, it became stretched and thinner to a point where fracture can occur due to faults. Such faults are the outcome of normal faults. Western United States have a vast region covering its inland which is characterized by abrupt elevation changes, varying between flat arid basins to faulted and narrow chain of mountains.

What are the two main reasons for conflict in Southwest Asia today.
kiruha [24]

Answer:  Religion.


If you google the reason for the conflicts in Southwest Asia you find a variety of answers.  I found this to be the most clearly written:


The conflicts are caused by people who are fighting for religion, land and natural resources. What I mean by people fighting over land is some say that god gave them that land and people are still trying to claim it. With there natural resources such as oil, gas and etc. they want it in order to make money. And to become a better military force. With religion, they fight by saying that there religion is right and the other religion is wrong. We could help by learning about each other religions and explaining it to others. With the land we could as the US let them handle it and not let them caught up in their conflict. In regard of other countries military's we need to be watchful of what they are doing and not step them unless its nessarcry. It is important to learn about their culture. Because to be better prepare in case of war and knowing who you are fighting against.

Afina-wow [57]

The answer is parallel.

To add, absolute water depth has nothing to do with the difference between shallow and deep-water waves. On the other hand, the ratio of the water’s deep to the wavelength of the wave is that one that determines it. A deep-water wave’s water molecules proceed in a circular orbit while the orbit of the molecules of shallow-water waves molecules’ orbit are elliptical.
