<u>Continent-</u>any of the world's main continuous expanses of land

<u>Continental Shelf-</u>the area of seabed around a large landmass where the sea is relatively shallow compared with the open ocean. The continental shelf is geologically part of the continental crust

<u>continent slope-</u>the slope between the outer edge of the continental shelf and the deep ocean floor

<u>seamount-</u>a submarine mountain

<u>trench-</u>a long, narrow, deep depression in the ocean floor, typically one running parallel to a plate boundary and marking a subduction zone

<u>midocean ridge-</u>a long, seismically active submarine ridge system situated in the middle of an ocean basin and marking the site of the upwelling of magma associated with seafloor spreading

<u>subduction zone-</u>A subduction zone is the biggest crash scene on Earth. These boundaries mark the collision between two of the planet's tectonic plates. The plates are pieces of crust that slowly move across the planet's surface over millions of years

<u>abyssal plain-</u>An abyssal plain is an underwater plain on the deep ocean floor, usually found at depths between 3,000 meters (9,800 ft) and 6,000 meters (20,000 ft). Lying generally between the foot of a continental rise and a mid-ocean ridge, abyssal plains cover more than 50% of the Earth's surface

<u>oceanic crust-</u>the relatively thin part of the earth's crust which underlies the ocean basins. It is geologically young compared with the continental crust and consists of basaltic rock overlain by sediments

<u>submarine canyon-</u>A submarine canyon is a steep-sided valley cut into the seabed of the continental slope, sometimes extending well onto the continental shelf, having nearly vertical walls, and occasionally having canyon wall heights of up to 5 km

Not all of them were is my textbook sorry

Which type of fault occurs when rock is subjected to this type of stress?
Zigmanuir [339]

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
