- 20. Multiple ChoiceStress that pushes masses of rock in opposite directions, in a sideways movement?shearcompressiontensionconstriction
- 21. Multiple ChoiceWhat does the movement of tectonics plates cause on rocks?Places stress on rocks.The rocks disappear.The rocks start to erode.All of the above.
- 22. Multiple ChoiceWhat is deformation?Process when the rocks break apart or erode.Process of when rocks melt away.Process when rocks change shape under pressure.Process when
- 23. Multiple ChoiceWhat occurs during folding?When the rocks change color.When the rocks form and create a landslide.When the rock layers combine to create a mountain.When rock layer bend under stress.
- 24. Multiple ChoiceWhat are the two types of folding?Horizontal and VerticalSynclines and AnticlinesUp and downBottom and Top
- 25. Multiple ChoiceWhat happens in strike slip faults?Fault blocks move past each other horizontally.Fault blocks move past each other vertically.The faults do not move at all.The faults do move but not enough to cause anything.
- 26. Multiple ChoiceWhat happens in a normal fault?The faults move apart and completely separate.The faults move side to side because of pressure.The faults move in a normal way (down) due to gravity.The faults do not move because they are normal faults.
- 27. Multiple ChoiceWhat happens in reverse faults?The hanging blocks move upward relative to the footwall.The blocks in the fault both move downward.The fault causes a reaction that rises up and creates a mountain.Nothing happens with the blocks except that they move sideways a little.
