Geography

Norma-Jean [14]3 years ago

The answer to the question is the total surface area increases and chemical composition changes. Consider the breakdown of rock into smaller pieces, these fragments vary from huge rocks to smaller sizes. As they are so crushed and broken they tend to occupy much of the surface area than when its just a huge rock.

Identify the land formation associated with each type of fault
Sever21 [200]
These are the land formation associated with the fault processes.
Block mountains- this is a raided highland,fault bordered block which occur due to raising up of block during faulting. Uplifted or raised block may be tilted to form tilted block or may be horizontal to form Horst. example of block mountains include mountain such as black forest in German and Ruwenzori in Uganda.

Rift valley it is major landforms , resulting from the lowering of relatively narrow strip of rock between parallel faults. The most impressive rift valley system in the world is the great rift valley of Africa which extend for over 7600 km from near to Beira in Mozambique to gulf of Aquaba into Jordan.. rift valley can be formed by both tension and compression forces.

Fault steps-these form when a series of parallel faults develop in the region and land between these faults is uplifted at different levels.the land scape forms a series of fault scarp that looks like steps. a good example can be seen at Kijabe west of Nairobi and the Malawi rift

Basin and plateaus- These features result from warping o the earths crust. Uplifted areas due to wraping which have high level or undulating landforms is called plateaus while depressed areas forms basins. Examples of plateaus and basins include lake Victoria basin in east Africa Deccan plateau and Bolivian plateau
