Question

which three are formed due to compression?
syncline, normal fault, and strike - slip fault
anticline, syncline, and reverse fault
normal fault, anticline, and strike - slip fault
reverse fault, strike - slip fault, and syncline

Explanation:

• Anticline: Formed by compressive forces that cause rock layers to bend upward.
• Syncline: Formed by compressive forces that cause rock layers to bend downward.
• Reverse fault: Occurs due to compressional forces where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
• Normal fault: Caused by tensional forces (not compression).
• Strike - slip fault: Caused by shear forces (not compression).

Answer:

antidline, syncline, and reverse fault
