The correct answer is - 5) At a normal fault, tensional stress causes the hanging wall block to move downward with respect to the foot wall block. Conversely, at a reverse fault, compressional stress causes the hanging wall block to move upward with respect to the foot wall block.

Both the normal faults and the reverse faults are dip-slip faults, meaning that they experience vertical movement which is inline with the dip of the fault. Both of them can be identified by the relative movement of their hanging walls and foot wall.

The normal faults have a hanging wall that is moving downwards relative to the foot wall. This kind of movement is caused by extensional tectonics, or rather by tensional stress. The faulted section of the rocks is lengthened because of this type of processes.

The reverse faults have a hanging wall that moves upward relative to the foot wall, thus the total opposite of the normal fault. This kind of movement is caused by the compressional tectonics. The faulted section of the rocks shortens under this type of processes.

Answer: The name of the biome is Tundra.

Explanation:

Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes. Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturi, meaning treeless plain. It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes, extremely low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. Dead organic material functions as a nutrient pool. The two major nutrients are nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitrogen is created by biological fixation, and phosphorus is created by precipitation.

Characteristics of tundra include:

Extremely cold climate

Low biotic diversity

Simple vegetation structure

Limitation of drainage

Short season of growth and reproduction

Energy and nutrients in the form of dead organic material

Large population oscillations.

Definition of Term:

Biome -

What is a biome? Biomes are very large ecological areas on the earth's surface, with fauna and flora (animals and plants) adapting to their environment. Biomes are often defined by abiotic factors such as temperature, climate, relief, geology, soils and vegetation.
