Question
which forms as a result of compressional stress?
anticline and syncline
normal fault
strike - slip fault
fault - block mountain
Brief Explanations
Compressional stress causes rock layers to bend and fold. Anticlines are upward - arching folds and synclines are downward - curving folds, formed due to compressional stress. Normal faults are formed by tensional stress, strike - slip faults by shear stress, and fault - block mountains are formed by tensional forces that create normal faults and uplift blocks.
