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

Answer:

The various types of reliefs on the planet are the result of a series of modeling agents that can be internal or external. In the case of folds and failures, they are internal or endogenous agents, arising from movements in the lithospheric plates.

The faults, or failures, are formed from movements caused by enormous pressures that happen vertically and horizontally, exerting a great force on more solid and rigid rocks, such as crystalline ones. In the execution of the phenomenon, they form ruptures or cracks in the extensions of the rocks. This causes the slip between the rocks. Such movements are responsible for the emergence of cliffs and valleys. Faults can also arise in places where lithospheric plate encounters occur.

The types of geological fault vary according to the criteria used in their classification. In the present approach, they are typified in three different forms: normal, reverse, and current.

In the normal type fault, the split occurs when a block “descends” or lowers from the fault surface. This occurs when the pressure exerted on the region causes a negative tension.

In reverse-type failure, splitting occurs when a block “rises” in relation to the fault, raising its surface. This happens when tectonism causes a tension responsible for compressing the space occupied by the rock layers.

In the current fault, also called horizontal fault, there is a parallel movement between the two blocks, which can be caused by inverse vectors of horizontal forces applied on each rock segment.

The manifestation of geological faults usually occurs in locations close to the meeting between two distinct tectonic plates, but can also manifest in internal continental zones.

List 2 types of SOLID water reservoirs.
STatiana [176]

\tt \huge\red{→Solution}

<u>There are three main types of reservoirs; valley-dammed reservoirs, bank-side reservoirs, and service reservoirs. Valley-dammed reservoirs are created in valleys between mountains. Usually, there is an existing lake or body of water.</u>

To what extent do you agree with the following statement? Explain your answer “social media has a significant impact on America
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Always partially agree in geography to give more info (bad and good point)

Explanation:

I parttly agree with this statement.social media has a large impact on American culture today, from posting Starbucks selfies to LGBTQ+ awarness and the 'America dream'.

Through social media America is presented as a cultured varied open opinioned county what shows they culture of family love and 'the dream' but social media can also be fake and make people believe just because that one person said something we all believe in that.

An example Donald trump "we will make America great again". This quote make people believe that all Americans are self-absorbed and possibly only care for there own country but we don't.

Though television American are mocked for there bias opinions and veiw points.

Overall I do think the cons do overnight the pros but social media is such a large platform its the easiest way to get information out to a large ammout of attended veiwers.
