Question

which type of fault is shown below? 3 - d diagram displaying gravity spreading normal reverse strike slip (transverse)

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In the diagram, the blocks move horizontally past each other along a fault plane, which is characteristic of a strike - slip (transverse) fault. In normal faults, one block moves down relative to the other due to tensional forces, and in reverse faults, one block moves up relative to the other due to compressional forces. The motion here is horizontal, indicating a strike - slip fault.

Answer:

C. strike - slip (transverse)
