Answer:
C. strike-slip fault
Explanation:
The scientist must have observed a strike- slip fault.
A fault is an evidence of brittle deformation of the crust in the presence of applied stress on earth materials. Here, the earth material is the rock subjected to tension.
Where a fault occurs, there must have been movement between two blocks of rocks. The direction of movement helps us to delineate the fault type.
- When two blocks moves past each other horizontally, it is a strike-slip fault like rubbing your palms together.
- When a block moves in the direction of the dip, it forms a dip-slip fault which results in a fault-block mountain characterized by graben and horst systems.
Option A, Plateau is a table landform usually a mountain with flat peak.
Option B is a bowl shaped stratigraphic pattern in which the youngest sequence is at the core of the strata or a fold.
So, the most fitting option is C, a strike-slip fault.
True! The mechanical advantage of the wheel and axle is equal to the ratio of the radius of the wheel over the radius of the axle.
The answer is solid because gas is a chemical and water is a compound
