Question

Which features involve tension? select the two correct answers

Answer 1

a. divergent boundaries

b. normal faults

hope that helps :P

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (A) and (B)

Explanation:

Tension or tensional force is defined as the force that is generated due to the pulling of any object from two opposite directions. This tensional force can be directly related to the divergent plate boundary, where the two plates move in the opposite direction and normal faults.

In a divergent plate boundary, seafloor spreading takes place due to the stretching force. This spreading is marked by the mid-oceanic ridge where the new materials are added at the bottom of the ocean. Shallow focus earthquakes occur due to this type of plate motion, along with some volcanic activities.

Normal faults are the faults that are generated due to the tensional force (stress). Here, the hanging wall moves down in comparison to the footwall. They are also considered as the gravity fault.

Thus, the correct answers are option (A) and (B).
