Is The San Andreas fault in California is an example of a reverse thrust fault?
False
What texture refers to rocks composed mainly of mineral and volcanic fragments?
The texture that refers to rocks composed mainly of mineral and volcanic fragments is known as "clastic texture". This texture is characterized by the presence of distinct particles or fragments that are cemented together to form the rock.
Which choice best describes that tundra climate?
Tundra climate is characterized by cold temperatures, strong winds, and a short growing season. It has low precipitation levels and is mainly covered by permafrost.
In which major earthquake zone are earthquakes produced mainly by plates moving away from each other?
Earthquakes produced mainly by plates moving away from each other occur in divergent plate boundaries, such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and East Pacific Rise. These earthquakes result from the tensional forces created as the plates separate, leading to the crust breaking and shifting along faults.
Which stage of atmospheric evolution is characterized by conditions rich in water vapor and carbon dioxide?
The stage characterized by rich water vapor and carbon dioxide is the early atmosphere stage. During this period, the earth's atmosphere was composed mainly of these two gases, along with other gases like nitrogen and methane, due to volcanic activity and meteorite impacts.
Which earthquake fault cause the most damage strike slip reverse or normal?
The amount of damage caused by an earthquake fault does not depend on the type of fault (strike-slip, reverse, normal). The severity of damage is mainly influenced by factors such as the magnitude of the earthquake, the depth of the focus, the distance from populated areas, and the building codes in place.
Earthquakes can occur when which of the following is passed?
Earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves.Tectonic earthquakes will occur anywhere within the earth where there is sufficient stored elastic strain energy to drive fracture propagation along a fault plane.There are three main types of fault that may cause an earthquake: normal, reverse (thrust) and strike-slip. Normal and reverse faulting are examples of dip-slip, where the displacement along the fault is in the direction of dip and movement on them involves a vertical component. Normal faults occur mainly in areas where the crust is being extended such as a divergent boundary. Reverse faults occur in areas where the crust is being shortened such as at a convergent boundary. Strike-slip faults are steep structures where the two sides of the fault slip horizontally past each other ; transform boundaries are a particular type of strike-slip fault. Many earthquakes are caused by movement on faults that have components of both dip-slip and strike-slip; this is known as oblique slip.Earthquakes often occur in volcanic regions and are caused there, both by tectonic faults and the movement of magma in volcanoes. Such earthquakes can serve as an early warning of volcanic eruptions.
What is taiga characterized by?
Taiga is a certain type of forest. Taiga is characterized by Pinophyta division grouped in coniferous forests that mainly has spruces, pines and larches.
What kind of faults you find in the mid Atlantic ridge?
Mainly transverse faults. This is caused by the way in which the sea-floor spreads, and the perpendicular faults slide past each other as the plates separate. The plates are moving away from each other, but as the divergence is not uniform and in a single line, faults are formed between the respective sides as a result of their movement. These faults are transverse as they move side by side. This is comparable to a Conservative plate boundary, but is not to be confused with it as this is not a tectonic boundary, but a fault.
What is the difference survival rifle and a normal 22?
Mainly weight
What is the common faults with a Suzuki GSX 750 ES?
as with most older suzuki's,they had very bad wireing problems, mainly alternator or regulater/rectifier.

What type of dictatorship is characterized mainly by a one party rule which tolerates no opposition but does not necessarily glorify war?
Totalitarianism [novanet]
What exactly is a head cold?
A common cold mainly affecting the mucous membranes of the nasal passages, characterized by congestion, headache, and sneezing.
How many jungles are there in France?
There are no jungles in France. The country is mainly characterized by forests, including the French Riviera and the Amazon Forest.
