Answer:

I. Reverse fault.

II. Strike-slip fault.

III. Normal fault.

Explanation:

A landform refers to a geomorphic or natural feature of the Earth's surface, which typically makes its terrain. Some examples of landforms on planet earth are mountain, plains, volcanoes, valley, hills and plateau.

Basically, the tectonic plates such as the oceanic and continental lithosphere interact in three (3) ways and these are; divergent, transform and convergent boundaries.

1. A convergent boundary: it can be defined as a boundary where two (2) plates move towards each other, usually, resulting in subduction or collision. An example of a convergent is where subduction zones or collisions occurred such as the west coast of South America.

2. A divergent boundary: it's a region where rigid plates are moving away or apart from one another. An example of a divergent is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

3. A transform boundary: it's a boundary where plates slide past one another horizontally and as such it is devoid of volcanoism. An example is the San Andreas fault.

A fault can be defined as a fracture or zone of planar fractures between the rocks of Earth's crust due to movement and displacement caused by tensional or compressional forces. Thus, it allow blocks of rock to move relative with each other.

In Geology, there are four (4) main types of faults and these include; normal fault, strike-slip fault, oblique fault and reverse fault.

I. Reverse fault: it is generally formed near a convergent boundary, where there's a collision of two plates.

II. Strike-slip fault: it usually occurs or is formed at a transform boundary due to high levels of friction.

III. Normal fault: it is often formed at a divergent boundary, where the crust stretches and move apart from each other.

How has the suburban environment changed shopping?

Answer:

C. Strip malls, big box retail stores, malls, and drive-throughs have been developed to accommodate shoppers driving automobiles.

The puzzle-like fit of the continents, similarity of rock types across continents, and glacial evidence all were pieces of evide
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

<u>Wegener gave many evidence to the theory of plate tectonics another piece of evidence was the finding of fossils of reptiles in oceans and glossiperious fauna and the similarity of glaciers in all continents</u>

Explanation:

  • Alfred Wegener is supposed to believe that the supercontinent named Pangaea consisting of northern continents and the southern continent i.e Gondwanaland consisting of southern continents were once the same.
  • Thus he gave evidence in the shape of puzzle-like fit of the continents as similarity of rocks found in the continent's of Africa and South America, as they were one earlier.  
  • Further, he gave the supporting pieces of evidence as the glacier landmasses distributed were the same part earlier drifted away from the larger continent of Greenland.
  • The supporting evidence the put forth was the polar wandering forces that he called the flight from poles and drift under the impact of moons gravity and another evidence was the thin sheets or plate moved away due to the wind.
