A fault in which the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall is a
ikadub [295]

The faults in which the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall is called normal fault.

Explanation:

There are several types of faults based on their characteristics. One of them is the normal fault, or normal dip-slip fault. The main characteristic of this fault is that its hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, while the footwall tends to move up relative to the hanging wall. The force that creates this type of faults is the vertical compression as the crust of Earth is lengthening.

  • These faults can be found all over the world, and they are actually the most common type of faults.
  • The normal dip-slip faults are bounding big portion of the mountains, as well as rift valleys.
  • As these faults progress with their formation, with the footwall going up, and the hanging wall going down, the footwall becomes a hill or a mountain, while the hanging wall becomes a valley.
  • The normal dip-slip faults can be found at all types of tectonic plate boundaries.

Changes in ocean currents have caused what to occur to people who are living in the inland parts of North America?
Lana71 [14]

Currents involve movement of ocean water masses, driven either by wind or by differences in temperature, salinity and density. The most important from a human perspective are the wind-driven surface currents that move water in the uppermost layer of the ocean.

Currents affect humans in several primary ways. Currents help shape the climate in the areas where we live, create the right conditions to support abundant ocean life in the areas where we fish, and change weather patterns through periodic events like El Nino/La Nina.

Ocean currents also cause upwelling in many areas like off in the inland parts of North America, where surface currents taking water away from the shore cause nutrient-rich water to well up from the ocean deeps. The abundance of nutrients in these areas forms fertile ground for kelp beds and marine fisheries, which in turn furnish food for humans. Alterations in current patterns like the El Nino/La Nina cycle affect humans as well by causing changes in local weather patterns in the years when they occur.
