<u>ANSWER:</u>

  • Folds in rocks form when the rock bends. Meanwhile, faults form when the rock breaks.
  • Various factors such as temperature, strain, confining pressure, and composition of the rock play a part in bending or breaking of the rocks.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • Folds and faults are two recognizable geological structures which are created due to the deformation of the rocks due to various factors.
  • These structures in rocks arise due to the pressure and stress in the tectonic plates and the rocks.

Which of the following are common tectonic settings associated with volcanic activity?Select all that apply.
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Options (A), (B), (C), and (D)

Explanation:

The volcanic activity refers to the eruption of magma at the surface of the ocean floor and continental land areas, forming volcanoes.

Some of the tectonic settings that are associated with volcanic activity are as follows-

  • Mantle plumes- These are the large uprising bodies of magma that are generated due to the formation of convection current in the mantle. These are localized body and are located away from the tectonic boundaries. For example, Hawaii is formed as the plates moved over the mantle plumes.
  • Continental rifts- This refers to the eruption of magma at the surface of the continents, due to the divergent motion of two continental plates. It results in the formation of a rift, rift valley and then later forms an ocean.
  • Island arcs- These are formed due to the collision of two oceanic plates, where the volcanoes are formed on the lighter oceanic plate due to the rising up of magma.
  • Continental arcs- These are formed due to the collision between an oceanic and a continental plate, where the volcanoes are formed due to the uprising of magma in the lighter continental plates.

What is the relation of other subjects with geography ??
Sidana [21]
Geography uses other subject in it's studies. Very close to geography are geophysics and geology. Geophysics studies quantitatively physical phenomena of the planet Earth, geology studies composition of soil rocks and their development through history. Geography uses biology, statistics, mathematics and other subjects in order to better describe the Earth.

The San Francisco earthquake of 1906 occurred along what fault? A. the San Francisco fault B. the California fault C. the San An
Lina20 [59]

The correct answer is - C. the San Andreas fault.

San Francisco, as most of the western of California, is lying in close proximity to the San Andreas fault. This fault is a continental transform fault that is formed as a result of the transform boundary between the Pacific plate and the North American plate, with a small plate lying in between them. Because of the horizontal movement of the plates and the pressure they cause to one another, there's constant adjustments inside the crust, and that contributes to lot of earthquakes in the region. One of those earthquakes was the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, a very strong and devastating earthquake, often considered as the worst earthquake in the history of the United States.
