1.) will a normal fault result from the stresses being applied to the rock unit in diagram d? explain.

2.) describe the rock layers shown in diagram a and any forces acting on the rock.

3.) what type of fold is this? what type of stress caused this fold?

1) No, because shearing causes strike-slip faults or normal faults are caused by tension.

2) Diagram A shows a section of rock that contains three different layers. All layers are parallel and are equal in thickness. There are no forces being exerted on the rock layers.

3) Compression: stresses are directed inward - produces thrust faults, reverse faults, or folding; Tension: stresses directed outward
