Question
9. As you jog through a stretch of the national highway, you notice a block 1 point
of rock (the hanging wall) over
another with cracks in between the two. Which of the processes could
have caused this rock to be in that
position?
Tension underneath the road surface has caused one block to move up on top of the
other
Right under the road blocks is a shearing force that causes one block to move beloW
the other.
One block is less dense than the other causing it to subduct below the other
Compressional stress caused this fault thus one block is on top of the other
Answer
Compressional stress caused this fault thus one block is on top of the other.
