Question
The displacement of rock strata on either side of a crack results in _________
- Transform plate movement
- Folding
- Faulting
- Divergent plate movement
The correct answer is: Faulting
When two lithospheric plates move away from each other during a divergent plate movement, tension is caused, which creates a crack in the Earth’s crust. Faults are created due to the displacement of rock strata on either side of the crack. This is known as faulting.
