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.

Answer:
5.A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.
6.The Nazca plate is an oceanic plate, while the South American plate is continental. The fast moving Nazca plate is moving east towards the South American plate at a downward angle and converging. This process is called subduction, resulting in frequent earthquakes & production of the Andes Mountains.
7.The Nazca plate forms the southeastern part of the Pacific plate. The Nazca and the Pacific plate share both divergent and transform type of plate boundary. The Pacific and the Nazca plate are separating at an increasing rate of about 122-142mm/year.
8.Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. Due to combined action of convection currents and gravity, Earth's plates are in constant motion.
