Answer:
The likely cause is pathogenic bacteria.
Explanation:
The pathogenic bacteria are bacteria that cause food poisoning through the contamination of food by faeces. Examples include Salmonella typhi, E. coli, Clostridium botulinum e.t.c.
This means that they are contacted through faecal oral route.
Reverse faults are exactly the opposite of normal faults. If the hanging wall rises relative to the footwall you have a reverse fault. Reverse faults occur in areas undergoing compression. If you imagine undoing the motion of a reverse fault, you will undo the compression and thus lengthen the horizontal distance between two points on either side of the fault.
if you stood on the fault plane the block on the right would be under your feet. this is thus the footwall. The tan sandstone has been pushed up and over itself. This offset of the hanging wall indicates that this is a reverse fault.
