magnitude, location

Fault rupture or ground raptures are those that visible offset the ground surface when an earthquake occurs at a buried rapture. where there is no displacement of ground levels.

Types of faults are  

1. Normal faulting is a simple fault scarp of superficial deposits that give rise to rise to surface graben.

2. Reverse faulting is a more complex surface rapture, which is liable to collapse like a back-thrust development.

3. Strike-slip faulting is associated with dominantly horizontal movement, occur in en-echelon faults

All these impacts the

Answer:

The marshes are defined as the type of wetland where the water covers the ground surface for a long period of time. Here, the trees are absent and are mostly dominated by the grasses and other small herbivore plants. They are commonly formed in delta type of environment where the rivers adds water into the seas. It forms an isolated and distinct ecosystem.

The marshes in nature, behaves like a filtration process as the vegetation that are present in marshes takes up more amount of nutrients for their growth and expansion. But, if it does not use up these excess nutrients then it cause water pollution comprising of nitrogen and phosphorous.  

They also plays an important role in the reduction of damages that are caused by a flood.

The marshes are sometimes seasonal and it occurs when the height of the river level is relatively high, and it floods the grassland areas.

The marshes are of three types-
