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.

Why is it cyclones are given female names?
Allisa [31]
I did some research, and I found this: "<span>Since 1953, US started using </span>female<span> names. The practice came to an end in 1979 when the US Natural Weather Service and the World Meteorological Organisation developed a systematic way of naming </span>cyclones<span> in the beginning of the year, alternating male and </span>female<span> names, arranged in an alphabetical order."
Hope this helps you, and happy studying~!

The presence of glossopteris leaves and mesosaurus on disconnected continents are strong _______ evidence for continental drift.
almond37 [142]

Fossils.

Early in the 20th century, Alfred Wegener, primarily, established the continental drift theory. According to Wegener, continents are mobile on the surface of the Earth and were previously connected to form a single supercontinent. Scientists did not think that the continents could migrate when Wegener was alive.

In rocks that are the same age but on continents that are currently far apart, ancient fossils of the same species of extinct plants and animals can be found. Wegener claimed that the species had coexisted, but that once they died and become petrified, the lands had separated. According to his theory, the creatures couldn't have crossed the seas.

1. Glossopteris seed fern fossils were too heavy for the wind to carry them that far.

2. Mesosaurus was a reptile that could swim, although it could only do it in freshwater.

3. The terrestrial reptiles Cynognathus and Lystrosaurus were incapable of swimming.

andre [41]

Answer:

Student C.

Explanation:

The student C statement is correct about the disappearing of Saturn's rings. The main reason of disappearing of Saturn's rings is the sloping of the Saturn planet. Saturn has its own orbit in which he revolve around the sun, During its movement, the orbit takes it to a location where the planet seems to tip just enough so that the rings slowly seem to be disappearing. The view of student A is incorrect because the ring is not made of methane gas, it is made of large pieces of comets, asteroids or shattered moons. The view of Student B is also incorrect because there is not just the ice coated dust particle but also pieces of rocks which reflect the light not refracted.
