Question

Normal faults form ________stress, reverse faults form __________stress and strike-slip faults form___________stress. a. shearing, tension, compression c. tension, compression, shearing b. shearing, compression, tension d. compression, shearing, tension

Answer 1

Normal faults form tension, reverse faults cause compression , strike -slip faults form shearing.

Answer 2

Answer: Tensional stress and Compressional stress

Explanation:

Normal fault: Tensional stress. This fault is where two rocks can grind past each other in a parallel direction. 2. Reverse fault: Compressional stress. This fault can create features like scarpas, horsts and grabens and fault block mountains. 3. [ Strike slip fault: Shear stress. The fault occur when a hanging wall block has risen relative to its footwall block. ]
