Answer:

Compression due to plate tectonic convergent motion

Explanation:

Folds and faults are formed naturally on land surfaces. Folds are the twists and the bends in the rock surfaces while faults are the planes of detachment which results when the rocks on the either side of displacement slips past one another.

The folds and faults in the Valley and Ridge province are formed due to the plate tectonic convergent movement which occurred during the formation of the Pangea super continent.

Answer:

The movement of continents has affected weather patterns by creating mountain ranges and changing the location of the continents.

Explanation:

The movement of continents, or rather the movement of tectonic plates, has had, has, and will continue to have a huge impact on the weather patterns on Earth. One of the things that are among the most influential is the creation of mountain ranges and the changing locations of the continents.

The creation of mountain ranges alters the movement of air masses, meaning that it is a process that influences the amount of precipitation, as well as temperature distribution in the areas where they are found. The changing locations of continents are even more influential. This determines the size of oceans and seas and because of that the ocean currents as well. If there is more landmass around the poles then the climate will be colder and drier on a global level and the sea levels will be lower, but if landmass is lacking around the poles then the global climate will be warmer, wetter, and the sea levels will be higher.

How can we describe the san andreas fault system
lubasha [3.4K]
The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault that extends roughly 1300 km in California. It forms tectonic boundary between Pacific plate and North American Plate. Its motion is right-lateral strike-slip. It is divided into three segments, and each of this segments has different characteristics and different degree of earthquake risk. The most significant segment is the southern one, which passes within about 35 miles of Los Angeles. This fault was first identified by professor Andrew Lawson from the UC Berkley in 1895.

Explain how weathering might have contributed to the formation of the rock of which uluru is made?
Simora [160]
Uluru is located in Australia and it's formation took place over 500 million years ago.It is composed of sedimenatry rocks called arkose.Rapid erosion of the mountains made materials that were deposited under the sea which formed uluru.Uluru is made up of very weldege rock.The top is flat and sides are grooved due to the process of weatheration.The red colour is due to the rusting of iron.The rock reacts with water and oxygen.
