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.

What is essential for a confederation?
user100 [1]

Answer:

smaller political units maintaining their sovereignty

Explanation:

Confederation is the name given to a country that is a federation, but the states that make up that country maintain their sovereignty, separate from the power of the federal government. In this case, to maintain a confederation it is essential that the smaller political units, the states, maintain their sovereignty. This is different from a federation, because in a federation, states lose sovereignty, transferring it to the federal government.

stepan [7]
The answer to this question is More elastic
A product usually become inelastic if that product does not have any subtitute to fulfill the same function.
In the long run, advancement in technologies will create a way cheaper method in producing energy (such as electric, nuclear, or solar) which will make natural gas become more elastic.
