These smaller pieces of rock (such as sand, silt, or mud) can be deposited as sediments that, after hardening, or lithifying, become sedimentary rocks. Extreme pressure from burial, increasing temperature at depth, and a lot of time, can alter any rock type to form a metamorphic rock.

List an example on Earth of the feature faulting creates.
NikAS [45]
Normal fault - a dip-slip fault in which the block above the fault has moved downward relative to the block below. This type of faulting occurs in response to extension and is often observed in the Western United States Basin and Range Province and along oceanic ridge systems.

Normal Fault Animation

thrust fault - a dip-slip fault in which the upper block, above the fault plane, moves up and over the lower block. This type of faulting is common in areas of compression, such as regions where one plate is being subducted under another as in Japan. When the dip angle is shallow, a reverse fault is often described as a thrust fault.

strike-slip fault - a fault on which the two blocks slide past one another. The San Andreas Fault is an example of a right lateral fault.

Strike-slip Fault Animation

A left-lateral strike-slip fault is one on which the displacement of the far block is to the left when viewed from either side.

A right-lateral strike-slip fault is one on which the displacement of the far block is to the right when viewed from either side.

¿Qué pasaría si los fenómenos naturales, como las lluvias, por ejemplo, se intensificaran o, por el contrario, dejaran de produc
skad [1K]

Si la lluvia se intensifica puede tener efectos positivos como el riego de zonas de cultivo, y efectos negativos como las crecientes de los ríos que desencadenan desastres naturales. También su ausencia puede causar efectos negativos como escasez de agua.

Fenómeno natural es un concepto que se refiere a distintas manifestaciones de la naturaleza que se caracterizan por no ser provocadas por acción humana tales como:

  • Huracán
  • Lluvia
  • Radiación Solar.
  • Formación de montañas.
  • Erupción de un volcán.
  • El viento.
  • Los truenos.
  • Sismos y terremotos.

Los fenómenos naturales pueden tener efectos negativos, positivos y neutros sobre las comunidades humanas. Por lo anterior, si las lluvias se intensifican podrían causar efectos positivos como riego de zonas de cultivo. No obstante, también puede tener efectos negativos como crecientes de ríos que desencadenen desastres naturales.

Por otra parte, la ausencia de lluvia puede causar efectos negativos dado que limitaría el acceso al recurso del agua, lo que podría afectar la vida vegetal y animal.

How does sub saharan africa and north africa differ culturally and economically? ​
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

North Africa is diverse. It is a myth that all North Africans have the typical Mediterranean look. It is the people you mostly see on TV and in movies.

Many North Africans can only be classified as North African Blacks. You rarely see them on TV or in the movies. They mainly live in the southern regions or as isolated communities, even in the north or the center of North African countries.

Genetically, the e1b1b haplogroup is shared by people in North Africa, in the Sahara and in Africa south of the Sahara. The palest Kabyles, the darkest Somali, the blackest Maasai and the “yellowish” San further south in Southern Africa carry the e1b1b hg.

The Sahara desert does not divide Africa genetically or phenotypically.

The differences between North Africa and Africa south of the Sahara are related to history and culture.

The history of North Africa is intertwined inseparably with European history (Roman Empire, the Greek Empire etc.), Persian history, Arab history and the history of the Ottoman Empire.

North Africa belongs to the Mediterranean world, northern coastal regions particularly (the food is typically Mediterrenean food). North Africa belongs to the Arab World. Arab culture is very strong and dominant. There is also a major influence of the Turkish culture.
