Question

matching 2 points
given the structure of the landscape in the sketch, match the area indicated to the forces that deformed what used to be horizontal geologic strata.
greatest compression
greatest tension

Explanation:

Compression causes folding of rock layers as seen in areas with tight - packed, curved strata. Tension causes stretching and fracturing of rock layers, often resulting in faults. In the given sketch, area X shows the most tightly - folded strata, indicating greatest compression. Area Z shows a fault, which is a result of greatest tension pulling the rock layers apart.

Answer:

Greatest compression: X
Greatest tension: Z
