If a fault occurs on an area where rock layers have folded what kind of fault will it be?
thrust or reverse fault,
Why are cristae highly folded?
To provide a larger surface area.
How does the folded membrane absorb the maximum amount of food needed?
A folded membrane increases the surface area available for absorption. More surface area allows for more sites for passive transport.
What is a fault makes California an area of high risk for earthquakes?
Andreas fault.
Why do chloroplasts have folded membranes?
They don't, they have sacs called thylakoids that are layered to form a granum. You're probably talking about mitochondria, which has a folded inner membrane. The membranes are folded here for increased surface area. This then allows for more ATP to be produced.
What type of fault is likely to form in an area where rock layer has been folded?
Probably reverse fault because folding is the result of compressional stres and reverse faults are caused by compression
If a fault occurs in an area where rock layers have been folded which type of fault is it likely to be?
If a fault occurs in an area where rock layers have been folded, the type of fault it is likely to be is thrust faulting. This type of fault will have the ground on one side of the fault, move up and over adjacent ground.
Which type of fault is likely to form in area where rock layer have been folded?
Folding is usually the result of compressional stress. This may also cause thrust / reverse faults.
If a fault occurs on an area where rock layers have folded what kind of fault will it be?
thrust or reverse fault,
If a fault occurs in an area where rock layers have been folded what type fault would it be?
What is the relative age of a fault that cuts across three horizontal sedimentary rock layers?A. The fault is older than the middle layer. B.The fault is younger than all the layers it cuts across.C. The fault is the same age as the top layer. D. The fault is older than all the layers it cuts across == ==
Which formation occurs when compression causes the crust to rise in one area and sink in another?
Fault-block mountains. A+
Earthquake zone is likely to be on?
An earthquake zone is likely to be on a fault-line. A fault-line is defined as the area underground where two tectonic plates meet or overlap.
What is the similarity between a fault and a fault zone?
A fault is where to tectonic plates meet but a fault zone is the area around a fault.
What is the area of Montereau-Fault-Yonne?
The area of Montereau-Fault-Yonne is 9,700,000.0 square meters.
What is the purpose of the folded layers of membrane?
To increase the surface area.
Why are cristae highly folded?
To provide a larger surface area.
What is the area along the fault where an earthquake begins?
A fault line.
