Civilizations have always tended to develop in regions with specific geographic features. The River Valley Civilizations developed around major river systems. The civilizations sprung up around the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The rivers provided water for domestic use and agriculture.

Answer:

C. A mass of air that is similar in temperature and humidity

Explanation:

An "air mass" refers to a big volume of air that is characterized by having similar or uniform "temperature" and "humidity" (moisture). They come from different source regions, thus they are classified accordingly.

The "cold air masses" come from the polar areas while the "warm air masses" come from the tropical areas. An air mass may cause a storm, for example, when an air mass moves to a new region and confronts another air mass there with a different humidity and temperature.

How can the extent of fault rupture during an earthquake be converted into a measurement of average fault slip of displacement o

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Fault rupturing by the earthquake is largely governed by the Elastic rebound theory. In geology, the elastic rebound theory is an explanation of how energy is released during an earthquake. It explains that as rocks on opposite side of the fault are subjected to some force and shift.

They gather energy and deform slowly unless their internal strength increases causing a sudden movement occurs along the fault. This results in the releasing of the accumulated energy and rocks move back to their original but unreformed shape.
