Reverse faults are created when plates push ________ each other.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

against

Explanation:

Reverse faults, also called thrust faults, slide one block of crust on top of another. These faults are commonly found in collisions zones, where tectonic plates push up mountain ranges such as the Himalayas and the Rocky Mountains.

When magma solidifies underground, the resulting landform is classified as _______.

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

1. When magma solidifies underground, the resulting landform is classified as Intrusive rocks.

2. Lava cooling on the surface of the earth forms Extrusive igneous rocks features.

3. A very large mineral is more likely to be found in Igneous rock.

4. Lava is magma that forms in long, horizontal shafts in the earth’s crust.

5. Lava with high basalt content forms high ferromagnetism through multiple eruptions.

Explanation:

1. Intrusive rock is formed when magma penetrates existing rock, crystallizes and solidifies underground to form intrusions. Intrusive rock forms within Earth's crust from the crystallization of magma.

2. Extrusive igneous rocks form when magma reaches the Earth's surface of a volcano and cools quickly. Most extrusive rocks have small crystals.

3. Igneous rock or magmatic rock, is one of the 3 main rock types. The other 2 are called sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

4. Lava is molten rock generated by geothermal energy and expelled through fractures in planetary crust or in an eruption, usually at temperatures from 1.292 to 2.192 °F.

5. Mafic or basaltic lavas are best known by their high ferromagnesian content.

Eruptions associated with basaltic lava usually are not explosive due to the low silica and gas content.

Because of the low viscosity, basaltic lava flows spread out, forming extensive layers. They may build up to form a large shield volcano.

What is a cataract how did they contribute to the survival of the ancient Egyptian civilization

KengaRu [80]

A cataract is an area of a river where the elevation of the streambed changes too quickly or has to many boulders meaning people couldn't use part of the river as transportation.

This was a good thing because the cataracts effectively served as barriers so they could control travel. This meant that the Pharos found it impossible to control the land south of the first cataract. This ending up becoming the southern border of Ancient Egypt.

Hope this helped ☺️

Which two factors determine the type of rock that is formed by a process

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Rocks are identified primarily by the minerals they contain and by their texture. Each type of rock has a distinctive set of minerals. A rock may be made of grains of all one mineral type, such as quartzite. Much more commonly, rocks are made of a mixture of different minerals.

Which of these limiting factors could cause tree squirrels to lose their homes?

alexandr1967 [171]

I would say a natural disaster like a forest fire that could kill trees that are their homes. A forest fire could kill the trees and also the cones they eat for food and thus destroy their habitat and also a source of food and the branches they use to travel from one tree to another in the upper stories of the forest.
