Question
which force created a fault - block mountain?
compression
shearing
subduction
tension
Brief Explanations
Fault - block mountains form when tensional forces in the Earth's crust cause large blocks of rock to break and move up or down along faults. Compression forms folded mountains, shearing causes rocks to slide past each other horizontally, and subduction is related to the sinking of one tectonic plate beneath another.
