different fault-plane angles, what is the relationship between the angle of the dip of the fault plane and how much crustal extension or compression takes place?
A. the smaller the angle of the fault plane, the greater the compression of the crust.
B. the greater the angle of the fault plane, the greater the compression of the crust.
C. the smaller the angle of the fault plane, the greater the extension of the crust.
D. the greater the angle of the fault plane, the greater the extension of the crust.
E. the smaller the angle of the fault plane, the lesser the compression of the crust.

Answer:

The correct answer is B: The greater the angle of the fault, the greater the compression of the crust.

The most basic features to form in sedimentary basins under extension are normal faults. <em>Normal faults are generally fairly steep</em>, ie <em>have a high dip angle.</em> A fault will form in the crust when the extensional forces acting on it are great enough to cause failure along a fracture plane.

Cheers!

Why do many scientists believe that increased pollution may cause global warming?
Ber [7]

Scientists believe that increased pollution may cause global warming because  pollution includes greenhouse gases, which trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere.

Option B

<u>Explanation</u>:

When the average temperature of earth increases and rises continuously above the normal value for a long period of time the it is referred as global warming.

Human beings are major cause in increasing pollution by various means whether its chemical industrial metallic or any other type of pollution. The major contributing factor in aiding pollution is the smoke from factories or vehicles which increases the carbon dioxide level above normal and when these gases rises they are trapped inside the earth surface and produce a green house effect. This is the main reason that scientists think aboutglobal warming.
