<u>Answer:</u>

New Madrid separation point which is otherwise called the ''New Madrid seismic zone'' is a significant seismic zone and is a significant wellspring of ''intraplate quakes'' which are the tremors caused inside a structural plate in the southern and midwestern United States.

Since the year 1812, tremors have been recorded in the territory and there are conceivable outcomes of huge seismic tremors in the region later on. This is an explanation why it is perilous.

Assuming that the distance that the hanging wall moves along the fault plane is the same for two comparable reverse faults with
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is B: The greater the angle of the fault, the greater the compression of the crust.

The most basic features to form in sedimentary basins under extension are normal faults. <em>Normal faults are generally fairly steep</em>, ie <em>have a high dip angle.</em> A fault will form in the crust when the extensional forces acting on it are great enough to cause failure along a fracture plane.

Cheers!

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The Euphrates river

Explanation:

Along with the Tigris, the Euphrates river helped form the Fertile Crescent and the Sumerian civilization.

It starts where the Karasu and Murat rivers merge in eastern Turkey and continues southeasterly for 2800 km (1740 mi) through Syria and Iraq until it merges with the Tigris river at Al-Qurnah. There, it becomes the Shatt al-Arab waterway and empties into the Persian Gulf.
