Which planet only has one satellite?
The Moon is the only natural satellite of the Earth.
What is the only planet that can't be seen from earth?
The only planet that can't be seen from earth is earth itself. Other than earth itself other planet can be seen, however sometimes it might requires use of high technology!
Why is life only found on earth?
we are the only planet who have the right conditions
The only planet with a bountiful supply of water?
Earth is the only planet with a bountiful supply of water.
The crust is only of earth's thickness?
Kip
Explain why weathering can only occur on the surface of the earth?
Weathering can only occur on the surface of the earth because the weather is only present on the surface of the earth. The surface of the earth refers to any exposed area.
What is it that the earth is called a blue planet and what consists then explain?
Because the earth is covered with 75% water and the only known planet with water.
What type of structure produced by a pair of reverse faults?
I know of no structure caused by pairs of reverse faults. Pairs of normal faults can cause "horsts" and "graben". However in horizontal stress fields where the maximum principle stress is parallel to the Earth's surface and the minimum principle stress is normal to the Earth's surface only one one fault surface/plane usually develops (which may be imbricated) as the shortening and thickening usually build away from the source of compression. Also as the crust thickens the principal stress will not remain normal to Earth's surface for long. Reverse faults at very high strains therefore merge into napes or subduction zones.
Has the gold coast ever had an earthquake?
No, Australia is situated in the middle of a plate of the Earth. These plates, when shifting and moving cause earthquakes, but only where there are faults/ two plates rubbing together.
What is a neutral territory?
Neutral is the return path that's used under normal circumstances; earth is the safe return path that is only used during faults to protect the user.
What is a text compression?
Text compression is code that compresses text. Text often compresses tighter than other code since it uses a limited spectrum of the characters, and there are only so many words.
What are symmetrical faults?
A three-phase symmetrical fault exists when all three line conductors are short-circuited, sometimes to earth (ground). An unsymmetrical fault occurs when only one or two of the three lines are involved.
Is it true that Mountains formed by blocks of rock uplifted by normal faults are called dome mountains?
No, only reverse faults can cause a mountain.
Do strike slip faults only occur in California?
No. They can form anywhere on Earth's surface / within the lithosphere that is affected by shear stress. For example the fault that caused the 2010 Haitian earthquake was a strike slip fault.
Why are thrust fault reverse faults and folds commonly found in the same place?
Thrust faults and reverse faults are essentially the same, the only difference being the angle: thrust faults have a shallow angle of 45 degrees or less from horizontal. Reverse (thrust) faults and folds usually indicate rock being compressed. In many cases folds develop along reverse faults as one fault block is dragged along another, with an anticline forming in the hanging wall.
What are Hades faults?
Hades can be considered to be cowardly, greedy, and vengeful; but these are only half of his aspects.
What are 6 facts about a normal fault?
Normal faults have a hanging wall and footwall Normal Faults are common at mid-ocean ridges Normal Faults occur where the crust is being pulled apart at the divergent plate boudary. Sorry i only have 3 facts, but I anyone with the question
