Question

select the correct answer. which rock feature is the line running between points a and b most likely to be? a. rock strata b. sill c. dike d. fault

Explanation:

A fault is a fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock across which there has been significant displacement. The line between points A and B in the image shows a break in the rock - mass with displacement, which is characteristic of a fault. Dikes are sheet - like intrusions that cut across rock layers, sills are intrusions that are parallel to rock layers, and rock strata are simply layers of rock. This feature does not match the characteristics of dikes, sills, or just regular rock strata.

Answer:

D. fault
