This occurs when Condensation happens during the water cycle.
Volcanic soil has a lot of minerals that plants take in as nutrients.
Answer:
Observability, Consistency, Natural explanation, Predictability, Testability, Repeatability, Falsifiability
Explanation:
A supernatural view about the origin of the earth or probably life on earth would not agree in anyway with a scientific approach.
If we are to approach the subject of origins scientifically, usual characteristics of scientific methods would be crucial in making logical conclusions from the process. One would need to carry out succinct observation about the procedure highlighted in the study. Then proceed to formulate a hypothesis. Hypothesis scientifically must be testable, repeatable and falsifiable. From this, an experiment can be set up to carryout more detailed observation. Explanations can then be drawn from patterns noticed in the process. The conclusion must be consistent with other scientific principles already in place and it must be a natural reason.
A supernatural explanation would be based on a belief system that might even contradict known facts and observations.
The lateral faults are created because of the immense force and pressure from the Mantle layer of the Earth towards the Crust layer, which breaks under that force and pressure. The Mantle layer is a layer of magma, melted metals, that has very high temperature and thus pressure. On certain points on the Earth, the Crust layer is thinner and cracks. That is accompanied by volcanic activity, earthquakes or both. Once the Crust is broken by the pressure and force from beneath, the pressure and force from the Mantle layer moves bit by bit in certain direction.
