Choose the correct types of faults.*3 pointsNormal fault Strike-slip fault Reverse faultDivergent boundary Convergent boundary Transform boundary Divergent boundary Convergent boundary Transform boundary
Solution
The types of faults correspond to different types of plate boundaries:
-
Normal Fault: This type of fault occurs at Divergent Boundaries, where the plates are moving apart from each other.
-
Strike-Slip Fault: This type of fault occurs at Transform Boundaries, where the plates slide past each other horizontally.
-
Reverse Fault: This type of fault occurs at Convergent Boundaries, where the plates are moving towards each other.
