Answer:
Extensional faulting observed in southwestern Mexico has been related to the incipient rifting of the Jalisco block from the Mexican mainland since the Pliocene. On the basis of new structural and geophysical data, we propose that (1) the continental boundaries of the Jalisco block are ancient structures reactivated since the Pliocene at a low (<1 mm/yr) rate of deformation, and (2) Pliocene-Quaternary extensional faulting at the edges of Jalisco block is a basement-controlled intraplate deformation related to plate boundary forces rather than to active continental rifting. The Jalisco block boundaries first developed in response to the uplift of the Puerto Vallarta batholith in pre-Neogene time and underwent a complex contractile deformation before the Pliocene. During Pliocene-Quaternary times north-northeast extension reactivated the northern boundary, forming the Tepic-Zacoalco rift, whereas east-southeast extension formed the northern Colima rift. South of the Colima volcano, active extension is found only west of the so-called southern Colima rift and partly reactivates old northeast-trending basement faults. The parallelism between the subducted Rivera-Cocos plate boundary zone and the eastern neotectonic boundary of the Jalisco block supports eastsoutheastward motion of the southern Mexican blocks induced by the differential motion and oblique subduction of the Cocos and Rivera plates. On the other hand, we envisage Pliocene-Quaternary extension along the northern boundary as an upper-plate response to the low convergence rate and the steep subduction angle of the Rivera plate.

When the lengths of AC and BD are equal, the lengths of AB and CD are also equal.
Explanation:
Got this wrong for yall but its the exact right answer.
The young regions of the Arabian peninsula have acquired protection from outsiders like the Ottoman Empire to defend the British rulers. Soon after the development of Islam took place in such regions generated culture of peninsula. Below number of aspects are given which discuss about the affect on population pattern on Arabian peninsula:
<u>Independence: </u>
Kuwait earned independence during mid 1900s while UAE signed treaty with Britain in 1971 and acquired freedom. The UAE was comprised of tribal population "sheikhdoms" and ruled by Islamic religious leaders, while Kuwait and Oman are constitutional emirates headed by emirs or prince.
<u>Living Standard and Culture:</u>
The living standard for urbanized nation in peninsula is based on oil production, manufacturing and trade. The Arab culture initiated to have foreign workers to cater need of growing industries. Number of people follow monarchial life style and simple too.
<u>Religion and Language:</u>
Most states have "Sunni & Shia Muslims" which are dominant sects of Islam and follow to visit hajj or pilgrimage i.e Makkah, atleast once by an individual in his or her lifetime. Some other categorization also seen in the form of Islam like Oman practice "Ibadhism" as considered to practice moderate conservatism. The language is basically Arabic only, but some other seen are English, South-Asian and Afro-Asian languages.
