**Question 6** In the image above, two parallelograms (labeled A and B) represent parts of the landscape (blocks) on either side of a fault. - **Description**: The diagram shows block A on the left, colored in orange, and block B on the right, colored in blue. Both blocks are separated by a black line labeled "Fault." There is a green horizontal layer intersecting both blocks. The question is: Which one would be the hanging wall block? **Options**: - There is not enough information provided to determine which is the hanging wall block - B - A - Neither
