What landforms do reverse faults form?
Regional SpecificsOn planetary bodies, landforms thought to be associated with reverse faulting include ▶lobate scarps (Figs. 2 and 3), ▶ high-relief ridges and ▶ wrinkle ridges.On planetary bodies, landforms thought to be associated with reverse faulting include ▶lobate scarps (Figs. 2 and 3), ▶ high-relief ridges and ▶ wrinkle ridges. What landforms do reverse faults make?
How does the Earth’s structure impact life?
Regional SpecificsHow does the structure of the earth affect life on Earth? Each layer has a unique chemical composition, physical state, and can impact life on Earth’s surface. Movement in the mantle caused by variations in heat from the core, cause the plates to shift, which can cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Why is it important
Where are the tectonic plates located?
Regional SpecificsIn plate tectonics, Earth’s outermost layer, or lithosphere—made up of the crust and upper mantle—is broken into large rocky plates. These plates lie on top of a partially molten layer of rock called the asthenosphere.Jun 10, 2020 Where are all the tectonic plates located? Earth’s thin outer shell is broken into big pieces called tectonic
Are ammonites snails?
Regional SpecificsMolluscs are animals like mussels, clams, snails, slugs, cuttlefish and octopus. They include extinct creatures such as ammonites and belemnites. Molluscs are a hugely diverse group of animals.Molluscs are animals like mussels, clams, snails, slugs, cuttlefish and octopus.

Where are both earthquakes and volcanoes common?
Regional SpecificsEarthquakes mostly occur near the plate boundaries between the Earth’s tectonic plates where there is usually a large concentration of faults. Volcanism occur near plate boundaries as well since most volcanoes form along the Earth’s tectonic plate boundaries where oceanic plates sink beneath other plates. What do the locations of earthquakes and volcanoes have in
How do continental glaciers and valley glaciers affect the land?
Regional SpecificsA glacier’s weight, combined with its gradual movement, can drastically reshape the landscape over hundreds or even thousands of years. The ice erodes the land surface and carries the broken rocks and soil debris far from their original places, resulting in some interesting glacial landforms. What are 2 ways that glaciers affect the land? Glaciers
