The answer is D - Faulting of rock in the Earths crust.

Explanation:

A fault is a planar fracture/discontinuity in a volume of rock in which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock mass movements.

Large faults within the earths crust result from the action of tectonic forces with the largest forming boundaries between the plates. Examples of this are subduction zones - (the lithosphere slides under the earths crust) or transform faults - (a fault which the motion is mainly horizontal.

In conclusion, the energy released from the continued movement of an active fault is the main reason for many of your major earthquakes.

As for your second question:

Everything you need to make a good  meaningful sentence (and grammatically correct, of course), is to follow common rules. Do not forget to provide your sentence with complexity, but you don't have to make them too complicated, I mean you need to use key words, they will make your thought completed.

most countries in europe follow Christianity and speak a languade derived from indo-europen. this area can be considered a ____?
Talja [164]

Answer:

Europe can be considered as a cultural region.

Explanation:

Europe is part of the Eurasian continent. It has been defined as a separate continent not as all others, but on the basis of culture, religion, and race. While this may come as strange, it is not actually, as almost all ethnic groups are descended from the Aryans, speak Indo-European languages, and follow the same religion (Christianity).

These traits put Europe on the map as a cultural region. Not to be confused though, as these are all general traits, which is in contrast with the high amount of different cultures, languages, and religious fractions throughout Europe. While the continent as a whole can be defined as a cultural region, it has to be mentioned that there are also smaller ethnic groups like the Magyars, Szekely, Finns, Basques, Tartars, etc. that come from different cultural, ethnic, and in some cases religious backgrounds.
