Question

Q.2) Identify the correct correlation :
A: Assertion; R : Reasoning
1) A : Faulting leads to development of fold
mountains.
R: Faulting occurs when tensional forces move
away from each other.
1) Only A is correct
2) Only R is correct​

Answer 1

1) only A is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

The reasoning here is incorrect and so only the Assertion is correct.

Option (1).

Explanation:

Assertion denotes a forceful statement concerning a fact. Reasoning is used to explain the logic behind an action or a fact.

Here, the assertion is that Fold Mountains are shaped due to the process of faulting. The reason is provided is that the act of faulting occurs when tensional forces cause drifting away from one another.

This reason in no way supports the first statement as to how or why faulting results in fold mountains.
