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!

Answer:

The Caribbean Sea - B

Panama - C

Belize - A

Nicaragua - F

Guatemala - G

El Salvador - E

Costa Rica - D

Honduras - H

Explanation:

The region shown on the map is Central America, but also the Caribbean Sea. This region, geographically speaking, is part of North America because it lies on the North American plate, but very often it is put as a separate region known as Central America, or rather the part of the Americas that connect North and South America. East of this region is located the Caribbean Sea, while west of is the Pacific Ocean

Central America is a region that was formerly a Spanish colony, with the exception of Belize, and this can be seen easily in the culture and languages that are spoken, with the Spanish dominating in six of the seven countries, while in Belize it is the English that is dominant. Five of the countries of Central America have access to both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, giving them an excellent strategic location. The region is almost entirely dominated by a tropical wet climate and it is covered with tropical rainforests. While many things seem to be excellent for these countries to be well developed and to have going well, they still struggle a lot, mainly because of internal conflicts.
