6. Cultural convergence occurs more rapidly with
arsen [322]

Cultural convergence occurs more rapidly with improved transportation.

<h3>What is cultural convergence?</h3>

Cultural convergence is the phrase used to describe how civilizations tend to alter and adapt when they are frequently exposed to different cultures. Cultures will become more similar the more they interact with one another. Time and points of interaction are two major aspects that affect cultural convergence. Greater commonalities between cultures emerge from longer exposure times, of course. Increased contact rates, accessibility to communication and transportation, and membership in the same groups all speed up the rate of convergence. It will take longer for a civilization to absorb the traditions of another culture if they are just sometimes exposed to it through pop culture media than if they are exposed to their food, language, art, etc.

Pull-apart rift zones are generally associated with a ________ plate boundary.
ozzi

Pull-apart rift zones are generally associated with a divergent plate boundary.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In geology, rifts are those linear zones where lithosphere is getting pulled apart. Divergent plate boundary, also named as extensional boundary or constructive boundary is a linear characteristic that exist in between both the tectonic plates that tends to move away from each other.

Major rifts can be found alongside the central axis of mid-ocean ridges, where lithosphere and new oceanic crust is created between two tectonic plates in the path of a divergent boundary.

When the two plates pull apart, general faults or breakdowns are developed on both the sides of the rifts and the central blocks start to slide downwards thereby initiating the earthquakes.
