which force created a fault - block mountain? compression shearing subduction tension

Brief Explanations:

Fault - block mountains are formed when large blocks of the Earth's crust are broken and displaced by tensional forces. Tension pulls the crust apart, causing fractures and uplift of blocks to form mountains. Compression forces fold and uplift rock layers to form different types of mountains like folded mountains. Shearing forces cause rocks to slide past each other horizontally. Subduction is related to the process at plate boundaries where one plate moves beneath another.

Answer:

D. tension
