viktelen [127]3 years ago

Fault-block mountains are formed by the movement of large crustal blocks when forces in the Earth’s crust pull it apart. Some parts of the Earth are pushed upward and others collapse down. To understand a fault-block mountain, or sometimes referred as a “fault mountain”, you need to understand what a fault is. Faults are simply cracks in the Earth’s crust. The surface of the Earth can move along these faults, and displace rock layers on either side. Wherever you have movement along the faults, you can get earthquakes, and over long periods of time mountains form under the intense pressure.

Answer: C

Explanation: In 1886, the Supreme Court ruled in Wabash v. Illinois that the state of Illinois could not regulate the rates that the Wabash Railroad was charging as its freight traffic was Interstate. It emphasized that only the federal government, through Congress had the power to regulate interstate commerce.

This case overturned the earlier Munn vs. Illinois case, whereby states had the power to regulate businesses dealing with interstate commerce.

The Wabash decision led to the creation of the Interstate Commerce Commission in 1887; this was the first modern regulatory agency of its kind.
