Answer:
Alternative Name: The Killer Fog of 1952
Great Smog of London, lethal smog that covered the city of London for five days (December 5–9) in 1952, caused by a combination of industrial pollution and high-pressure weather conditions. This combination of smoke and fog brought the city to a near standstill and resulted in thousands of deaths. Its consequences prompted the passing of the Clean Air Act four years later, which marked a turning point in the history of environmentalism.
The phenomenon of “London fog” long predated the crisis of the early 1950s. Known as “pea-soupers” for their dense, yellow appearance, such all-encompassing fogs had became a hallmark of London by the 19th century. But polluted fog was an issue in London as early as the 13th century, due to the burning of coal, and the situation only worsened as the city continued to expand. Complaints about smoke and pollution increased in the 1600s, when ultimately ineffective legislation was passed under King James I to restrict coal burning. Rapidly increasing industrialization that began in the late 1700s made conditions even worse.
These hazes were not natural formations of the atmosphere: water vapour would stick to particulates released by coal-burning factories, producing dark and heavy clouds that impaired visibility. This variety of fog later came to be known as smog (a merging of the words smoke and fog), a term invented by a Londoner in the early 20th century.

Explanation:
Answer:
<u>Yes , They are architectural structures that shape the geology of earth.</u>
Explanation:
- These geologic structures influence the shape and size of landscape development and determine the degrees to landscape hazards. Folds and faults and other geologic structures accommodate large forces/stress on earth's tectonic plates.
- Foldes are of two types such as Syncline and Anticline. Formed due to the crustal bending and wrapping of the geo sediments or rocks. The youngest at the top and the oldest at the bottom. As antiforms contain comparatively younger folded rock strata.
- Faults are a planar surface within the earth, where the rocks have slid or broken a fault may be caused due to the elastic strains on the rocks, the rocks on either side are shifted in opposite direction and the faults get induced.
- There are many types of faults and folds in the history of the earth's surface, many of these have led to the formation or shaping of mountain ranges and various mountain chains.
- Another example can be of Mount Everest which is a young folded mountain formed from the colloid of the Tethys sea when India was once a part of the Australian continent.
- Plate tectonics is thus directly related to the formation and motion of the plates which mover the entire planet and shape its orogeny
