Question

which process is responsible for cracks in successive strata in the earth?

○ deposition
○ erosion
○ folding
○ faulting

Explanation:

Faulting is the process that creates cracks (faults) in successive strata due to tectonic forces. Folding bends rocks, erosion wears them down, and deposition builds them up—none directly create cracks like faulting.

Answer:

faulting
