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.

When the moon orbits the Earth, it has velocity. Inertia would make the moon continue in a straight line instead of orbiting at
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

There is an attractive force call gravity  

Explanation:

The reason the moon's inertia doesn't make it continue in a straight line is due to the attractive force of gravity and the reason the moon and earth's gravity doesn't make them collide with each other is due to the moon's inertia. To understand this phenomenon imagine that you have a ball tied to a rope, you keep the rope with one hand and with the other you push the ball so it can move freely; the ball, like the moon, has velocity, but the ball can not move in a straight line because the rope doesn't allow it, in our hypothetical scenario the rope is like the gravity that traps the ball in an 'endless' circle.

Note: The rope and the ball are a hypothetical case, it helps us imagine the phenomena but the forces involved are different than in the case of the moon.

Which of Australia’s physical features is circled on the map above? A. the Central Lowlands B. the Great Barrier Reef C. the Eas
nalin [4]

The correct answer is A. the Central Lowlands.


The Central Lowlands are a very interesting part of Australia. Big portion of this part of the country is actually lower than the sea level, so a slight increase in the sea level can make it a shallow sea inside of the continent. The biggest lakes of the country are located in here, but the problem is that most of the water is saline water because it is a remnant of the ocean water that once penetrated in here. It's a harsh place for living, while there's a short rainy season where huge amount of rain falls and everything turns green, after that it is dry for most of the year and it is pretty much desert like.
