Explanation:

The correct answer is - 5) At a normal fault, tensional stress causes the hanging wall block to move downward with respect to the foot wall block. Conversely, at a reverse fault, compressional stress causes the hanging wall block to move upward with respect to the foot wall block.

Both the normal faults and the reverse faults are dip-slip faults, meaning that they experience vertical movement which is inline with the dip of the fault. Both of them can be identified by the relative movement of their hanging walls and foot wall.

The normal faults have a hanging wall that is moving downwards relative to the foot wall. This kind of movement is caused by extensional tectonics, or rather by tensional stress. The faulted section of the rocks is lengthened because of this type of processes.

The reverse faults have a hanging wall that moves upward relative to the foot wall, thus the total opposite of the normal fault. This kind of movement is caused by the compressional tectonics. The faulted section of the rocks shortens under this type of processes.

Which planet do most known extrasolar planets least resemble
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Mars

Explanation:

At present there are around 540 extrasolar known planets. These are distant planets so not a lot is known about them, but there are some basic things that provide some basic information about them. It seems that the majority of them are planets that resemble Jupiter, being large and gaseous planets. It is very rare that a planet resembles Mars, in fact it is the rarest type of planets among the known planets so far. Even the planets that do share some characteristics with Mars, they also have characteristics that make them different, especially their size and distance from their star. Mars type of planets are very rare because of what Mars have actually become. The planet is assumed to have been similar to Earth, but its core has stopped its activity, resulting in no magnetism, and no volcanic activity. Also, the atmosphere of this planet is very thin, the temperatures vary greatly throughout the day, and its surface is covered with thick layers of dust and craters.
