Because of techtonic plates
<span>When new clay sediment is deposited on top of old beach material, it's known as.C. transgression.This is because the clay would have to come from sea inundating the beach ie rising and depositing the clay on the old beach. The sea rising could be from say tectonic movement or from glaciers melting but before glacial rebound.</span>
Answer:
Because at those latitudes the jet stream, which is a very high altitude wind, always blows from the West to the East. The planes moving at a constant air speed thus go faster in the West-East direction when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite direction.
Explanation:
These are the land formation associated with the fault processes.
Block mountains- this is a raided highland,fault bordered block which occur due to raising up of block during faulting. Uplifted or raised block may be tilted to form tilted block or may be horizontal to form Horst. example of block mountains include mountain such as black forest in German and Ruwenzori in Uganda.
Rift valley it is major landforms , resulting from the lowering of relatively narrow strip of rock between parallel faults. The most impressive rift valley system in the world is the great rift valley of Africa which extend for over 7600 km from near to Beira in Mozambique to gulf of Aquaba into Jordan.. rift valley can be formed by both tension and compression forces.
Fault steps-these form when a series of parallel faults develop in the region and land between these faults is uplifted at different levels.the land scape forms a series of fault scarp that looks like steps. a good example can be seen at Kijabe west of Nairobi and the Malawi rift
Basin and plateaus- These features result from warping o the earths crust. Uplifted areas due to wraping which have high level or undulating landforms is called plateaus while depressed areas forms basins. Examples of plateaus and basins include lake Victoria basin in east Africa Deccan plateau and Bolivian plateau
