What regional effects influence continental interiors?
A) rises and falls in sea level related to changes in global climate
B) stresses transmitted from distant plate boundaries and mountain belts
C) preexisting fault that can be activated by stresses, causing faulting and folding
D) all of these
Regional Effects
Regional effects refer to the impacts or consequences of natural or human activities that are felt over a wide geographic area, often crossing administrative boundaries.
Plate Boundaries
The edges where two tectonic plates meet, characterized by geological activities such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Fault
a crack in the Earth's crust resulting from the displacement of one side with respect to the other.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
All of these factors influence continental interiors: changes in sea level can affect erosion and sedimentation patterns; stresses from plate boundaries and mountain belts can cause deformation far from the edges of continents; and preexisting faults can be reactivated by these stresses, leading to geological activity such as faulting and folding.
