a geologist is making observations from atop a small mountain. she sees two parallel faults: one directly to the east and one directly to the west. she concludes that these faults are caused by tension stretching the crust. from what type of land feature is the geologist making her observations? plateau anticline syncline fault - block mountain

a geologist is making observations from atop a small mountain. she sees two parallel faults: one directly to the east and one directly to the west. she concludes that these faults are caused by tension stretching the crust. from what type of land feature is the geologist making her observations? plateau anticline syncline fault - block mountain

Answer

Brief Explanations:

A fault - block mountain is formed by tension stretching the crust which causes faults. The geologist is on a mountain and sees faults likely due to such tension. Plateaus are flat - topped elevated areas not related to this fault - causing tension scenario. Anticlines and synclines are folds in rock layers, not related to the described faulting due to tension.

Answer:

fault - block mountain
