Question

a geologist notices that the land on one side of a break in the crust is slightly higher than the other side. what has the geologist found? a fault a joint an anticline a fold

Explanation:

A fault is a fracture or break in the Earth's crust where there has been movement of the rocks on either side. In this case, one side of the break is higher than the other, indicating movement (displacement), which is characteristic of a fault. A joint is a break in the rock without significant displacement. An anticline is a type of fold (up - arched fold). A fold is a bend in rock layers. Since there is displacement (one side higher than the other) at the break, it is a fault.

Answer:

a fault
