Question

What type of plate boundary would you expect at a reverse fault? 1. Convergent 2. Transform 3.Divergent 4. Strike-Slip

Answer 1

the answer is option 1

Answer 2

Answer:

Convergent

Explanation:

At a convergent plate boundary, two plates move towards each another. This is compressional type of plate boundary. When compression is added on to tectonic plates, a fault is generated. Upon continuos addition of compression, the fault block moves in such a manner that hanging wall moves upwards with respect to footwall and it results in Reverse faulting.
