Assuming that the distance that the hanging wall moves along the fault plane is the same for two comparable reverse faults with

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!

What makes the great barrier reef special?
Kryger [21]

The Great Barrier Reef is special because it is by far the largest reef in the world. It is consisted of around 2,900 individual reefs. The size of this reef is approximately as the size of Germany. There are over 900 islands that are stretched over 2,600 km along the the reef. The Great Barrier Reef is so marking and big, that even though it is below water it can actually be seen from space. The ecological importance of this reef is enormous as it is a home for thousands of species, with approximately 10% of all fish species in the world living in it. Because of its beauty and numerous attractions, the Great Barrier Reef is one of the most visited tourist destinations, and the Australian economy manages to generate between 5 and 6 billion Australian Dollars annually from it. Unfortunately, all of the human activity has been affecting this reef very negatively, and little by little part of it is dying out.

How were you going to solve the problem brought by earthquakes in South Africa​
lisabon 2012 [21]

Ensuring the safety of the people after the earthquake struck would be the main priority. Make sure there would be no occurrence of tsunami before deploying rescue operations. I would immediately deploy all of the necessary health equipment and personnel to the affected areas. Rescue operations must be started also to save those who were trapped by debris. Also the removal of live electrical wires is really important.

Which is a future NASA research project? Check all that apply.
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

"All of them except last one."

Explanation:

All of the given options represent NASA future projects:

  • Use a probe to collect data- Parker Solar Probe will be the first-ever mission to study the Sun from such a small distance. The spacecraft will travel directly into the Sun's atmosphere about 4 million miles from the surface.
  • Improve aviation technology- NASA is currently working on the development of the new experimental aircraft X-plane which will prove the dramatic benefits of advanced technologies in piloted flight.
  • Conduct research from a space station- Humans are already living and working on board of the International Space Station which is one-of-a-kind research laboratory in micro gravity. A portion of the astronauts time aboard the space station has been designated for national laboratory investigations.
  • Collect samples on an asteroid- First asteroid sample return mission, OSIRIS-R Ex, arrives at the near-Earth asteroid Bennu in December 2018 and should return a sample for study in 2023.
  • Conduct an unmanned space mission- In Sight Mars lander is set to study the planet’s interior. The Mars 2020 rover will search for signs of past microbial life, gather samples for future return to Earth and investigate resources. The James Webb Space Telescope will be the premier observatory of the next decade, studying every phase in the history of our Universe in infrared
