Answer: Normal faults are caused by tensional stress that pulls the crust apart, causing the hanging wall to slide down relative to the footwall. When compression squeezes the crust into a smaller space, the hanging wall pushes up relative to the footwall.
Answer: True (happy to help)
Explanation:
Giza's great pyramid are oriented to face the four cardinal direction true north, south, east and west.Their entrance are all on the north side and the temples of theses pyramids are on the east side.
Giza's pyramid also known as spelled Gizeh, three 4 th dynasty,pyramids erected on a rocky plateau on the west bank of the nile river near Al-Jizah in northern Egypt. These pyramids are eight-sided figure,not a four -sided figure.
Each pyramids four side are evenly split from base to tip by very sublet from base to tip by very subtle concave indentations. This discovery was made by British air forces pilot.There are two entrances to the pyramids of Giza. One is next to great pyramid,near the Marriott mane house hotel.

The correct answer is C. Forced uplift due to the presence of a physical barrier.
Explanation
When a current of air finds a barrier in its way, for example, a mountain, it is forced to overcome this obstacle, in this way, the air surrounds the relief that opposes and overcomes the barrier which is known in Geography as Orographic lifting.
This collision between clouds and land reliefs causes the phenomena known as windward and leeward, in which a side of the mountain works las a filter, because it takes the humidity of the clouds that clash in the mountains(windward), while the other side of the mountain or relief, receives dry air, making it a dry environment and in some cases arid (leeward). So, the correct answer is C. Forced uplift due to the presence of a physical barrier.
Compared to global averages, the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) holds considerable energy reserves. The U.A.E. is the world's seventh largest crude oil producer and the fourth largest producer of petroleum liquids in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). In addition, the U.A.E. holds the seventh largest natural gas reserves globally. Hydrocarbon production remains critical to the U.A.E. economy, amounting to $65 billion or approximately 20 percent of all export revenue, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). As a result of low oil prices, these revenue figures are down from a peak of $123 billion in 2013.
The U.A.E. controls its own oil and gas production and resource development. Abu Dhabi holds 94 percent of the U.A.E.'s oil reserves, or about 90 billion barrels (2017), which can be found both offshore and onshore. Additionally, Dubai holds an estimated 4 billion barrels of oil, followed by Sharjah and Ras al-Khaimah with 1.5 billion and 100 million barrels of oil, respectively. In Abu Dhabi, the Supreme Petroleum Council (SPC) establishes the Emirate’s petroleum-related objectives and policies. Abu Dhabi's position as a central player in the U.A.E.'s oil industry and wider economy means that the SPC is considered the country’s most important entity in regards to energy policy.
The U.A.E. produced 3.7 million barrels per day (b/d) of petroleum and other liquids in 2016, of which 2.9 million b/d was crude oil and remainder was non-crude liquids. The state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and its operating companies are in the process of expanding the output of crude oil to 3.5 million bpd by 2020, which the country aims to maintain until 2027. As proven reserves are expected to remain relatively constant, increased production will therefore rely on enhanced oil recovery (EOR) practices in the present fields. Carbon dioxide (CO2) injection projects in Rumaitha and Bab are examples of such initiatives. ADNOC is also developing the country’s downstream industries, with emphasis on petrochemicals and plastics.
ADNOC continues to face pressure to cut costs to offset the fall in global oil and gas prices. The company cut up to 5,000 jobs in 2016, according to MEED reports, and major changes have swept across ADNOC and its associated companies. These changes include the appointment of a new Director General and the replacement of six CEOs across the group of companies. The Minister of Energy further noted that mergers between these companies have been and will continue to be used as a tool to cut costs and raise efficiency through consolidation.
The U.A.E. continues to pivot heavily toward Asian markets. The U.A.E. exports 96 percent of its crude oil to Asia, and the government has steadily increased contracts to Chinese, Korean and Japanese firms.
