Answer 2

Answer;

B. Reversefaults

C. Anticlines

E. Folded mountains

Explanation;

• Compression is a type of stress that is directed toward the center of a rock mas as a result of compression force. This type of stress makes the rocks to push or squeeze against each other.
• Anticlines and Syclines are up and down folds that occur together and are caused by compressional stress.
• Compressional stress also creates reverse faults. Reverse faults are opposite of normal faults and occur in areas undergoing compression.
• Folded mountains areformed when two plates move together, that is a compressional plate margin, which means they result from compresional stress
