The dominant motion along the fault is primarily horizontal, but some areas also have vertical motion
Explanation:
Rocks can be classified in to three main groups - igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. These three different rock types can be found in distinct areas of the UK. Igneous rocks - these rocks are a result of volcanic activity in the past, when Britain was close to a plate boundary.
A topography map provides visual information about elevations, either by color or by circles, so the answers would be:
- areas with mountains
- regions with a high elevation.
The change of elevation (going high or low) would be represented by circles. The closest the circles are to each other, the steeper is the variation.
A topographic map is usually a large-scale map (showing a small area, like your neighbourhood, not a whole country for example). If there are state boundaries or any kind of road passing in that frame, yes they will be shown on the map... but it's not the primarily use of a topographic map.
Answer:
Poor planning, and disease
Explanation:
The obstacles that the French faced while attempting to build a canal across Panama were diseases and poor planning. The French dealt with constant outbreaks of malaria and yellow fever, which slowed construction and caused the deaths of thousands of workers. The French also did not take into consideration the geographical differences between the Suez Canal region and the Panama region. The French had succeeded in building a canal at sea level in Egypt, and they mistakenly thought a similar design would work in Panama. However, the difference in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean sea levels, as well as the difference in elevation of the Panamanian terrain, prevented them from building a sea-level canal. The United States knew about these two problems when they undertook the project. They took preventative measures by reducing the disease-spreading mosquito population and using a canal-lock system to overcome the elevation obstacle in Panama.
