Question
Choose the correct sentences for folding and faulting, respectively.
1. It occurs when the Earth's rock layers are folded.
2. It occurs when the Earth’s crust gets cracked.
3. It takes place when two lithospheric plates collide with each other.
4. It takes place when two lithospheric plates move away from each other.
5. An example is Himalaya mountain.
6. Examples are block mountains and rift valleys.
- Folding: 1, 2, and 5
Faulting: 3, 4, and 6
- Folding: 1, 2, and 6
Faulting: 3, 4, and 5
- Folding: 1, 3, and 5
Faulting: 2, 4, and 6
- Folding: 2, 3, and 5
Faulting: 1, 4, and 6
The correct answer is: Folding: 1, 3, and 5
Faulting: 2, 4, and 6
Folding: Folding occurs when the Earth’s rock layers become folded. It happens when two lithospheric plates collide with each other. Fold mountains are created as a result of folding.
Example: The Himalayas
Faulting: Faulting occurs when the Earth’s crust gets cracked, forming a fault. It happens when two lithospheric plates move away from each other. Block mountains and rift valleys are created as a result of faulting.
