Correct Answer

Options:

1. A type of rock formation
2. A displacement of rocks along a plane due to tensional and compressional forces acting either horizontally or vertically or sometimes in both ways
3. A type of fault formation
4. A type of earthquake

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Movement of rock blocks in a vertical direction only
2. Erosion of crustal rocks
3. Movement of rock blocks in a horizontal direction only
4. Tensional movement caused by the endogenetic forces

Correct Answer

Options:

1. A joint is a fracture in the crustal rocks with appreciable displacement, whereas a fault is a fracture in the crustal rocks with no appreciable movement of rock.
2. A joint is a type of fault, whereas a fault is a fracture in the crustal rocks with appreciable displacement.
3. A joint is a fracture in the crustal rocks with no appreciable movement of rock, whereas a fault is a fracture in the crustal rocks with appreciable displacement.
4. There is no difference between a joint and a fault.

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The angle between the fault plane and horizontal plane
2. The angle between the fault plane and vertical plane
3. The angle between the foot wall and hanging wall
4. The displacement of rock blocks along a plane

Correct Answer

Options:

1. A type of fault formation
2. The displacement of rock blocks along a plane
3. The steep wall-like slope caused by erosion of crustal rocks
4. The steep wall-like slope caused by faulting of the crustal rocks

Correct Answer

Options:

1. The strength of rocks and intensity of compressional forces
2. The strength of rocks and intensity of tensional forces
3. The age of rocks and intensity of tensional forces
4. The age of rocks and intensity of compressional forces

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Dip-slip movements occur in the direction of the dip, while strike-slip movements occur in the direction of the strike of the fault plane.
2. Dip-slip movements occur in the direction of the strike, while strike-slip movements occur in the direction of the dip of the fault plane.
3. Dip-slip movements occur in both the directions of the dip and strike, while strike-slip movements occur only in the direction of the dip.
4. Dip-slip movements occur only in the direction of the strike, while strike-slip movements occur only in the direction of the dip.

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Dip-slip faults and strike-slip faults
2. Reverse faults and wrench faults
3. Normal faults and oblique slip faults
4. Right-lateral faults and left-lateral faults

Correct Answer

Options:

1. A fault formed due to the displacement of rock blocks in opposite directions
2. A fault formed due to the movement of both fractured rock blocks towards each other
3. A fault formed due to the horizontal displacement of rock blocks along the fault plane
4. A fault formed due to the combination of normal and wrench faults

Correct Answer

Options:

1. Normal faults are formed due to compressive force, while reverse faults are formed due to tensional force.
2. Normal faults cause extension of the faulted area, while reverse faults cause shortening of the faulted are
3. Normal faults are formed due to the movement of both fractured rock blocks towards each other, while reverse faults are formed due to the displacement of rock blocks in opposite directions.
4. Normal faults have a fault plane inclined at an angle between 40 degree and the horizontal, while reverse faults have a fault plane between 45° and the vertical.

Correct Answer

Options:

1. A fault formed due to the displacement of rock blocks in opposite directions
2. A fault formed due to the movement of both fractured rock blocks towards each other
3. A fault formed due to the horizontal displacement of rock blocks along the fault plane
4. A series of faults that occur in such a way that the slopes of all the fault planes of all the faults are in the same direction

Correct Answer

Options:

1. A long and narrow trough formed by the displacement of crustal parts and subsidence of the middle portion between two normal faults.
2. A mountain range formed by the collision of two tectonic plates.
3. A depression in the ocean floor caused by volcanic activity.
4. A circular basin formed by the erosion of a volcano.
