Normal fault - a dip-slip fault in which the block above the fault has moved downward relative to the block below. This type of faulting occurs in response to extension and is often observed in the Western United States Basin and Range Province and along oceanic ridge systems.

thrust fault - a dip-slip fault in which the upper block, above the fault plane, moves up and over the lower block. This type of faulting is common in areas of compression, such as regions where one plate is being subducted under another as in Japan. When the dip angle is shallow, a reverse fault is often described as a thrust fault.

strike-slip fault - a fault on which the two blocks slide past one another. The San Andreas Fault is an example of a right lateral fault.
Strike-slip Fault Animation
A left-lateral strike-slip fault is one on which the displacement of the far block is to the left when viewed from either side.
A right-lateral strike-slip fault is one on which the displacement of the far block is to the right when viewed from either side.
Answer:
sudden and quicker
Explanation:
The climate on Earth has always been changing, and there are numerous factors that have had their influence on it. Some of the factors are the plate movement and the astronomical causes. Both of these factors though result in gradual changes of the climate, which can take thousands or even millions of years in order to have a significant change. The volcanic eruptions are another story. They are also one of the factors that influence the climate, but unlike the other two factors that are mentioned, the volcanic eruptions cause sharp and sudden climate changes. If the volcanic eruption is massive, or there are several volcanoes around the world erupting at the same time, they are able to change the global climate in just few days. Usually it is the enormous amounts of ashes and other particles released in the atmosphere that are blocking the sunlight and cause sudden cooling of the planet.
Se considera como continente a una gran extensión de tierra que se diferencia de otras menores o sumergidas por conceptos geográficos, como son los océanos; y culturales, como la etnografía.
