Which type of fault occurs when rock is subjected to this type of stress hanging normal reverse strikeslip class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

c reverse

Explanation:

A reverse force results from the compression of two plates. The compressional stresses leads to the collision or pushing of two rock plates or slabs into each other.  so the collapsing rock slabs are almost vertical but slightly tilted towards the left at the middle length. The foot wall and hanging wall move opposite to each other. Generally it takes place at tectonic plate boundaries.  

so

option C is correct

A fault is one that represents a plain fracture or discontinuity in the volume of rocks, where there has been an significant displacement of the rock mass.

  • The diagram depicts the occurrence of the normal fault. That is a common type of fault and is found in rocks above the fracture moves downwards and slides along the rocks to other side of the fracture.
  • These are often found also the divergent plates as here the new crust is forming.
