Question
the image shows a type of fault. what stress causes this type of fault to form? compression gravity tension shearing
Brief Explanations
Shearing stress causes rocks to slide past each other horizontally, which is depicted in the image where the rock layers are moving in opposite - parallel directions. Compression causes rocks to be pushed together, tension causes rocks to be pulled apart, and gravity is not a type of stress that directly causes this type of fault movement.
