Question

Please help me to answer Questions 1.1 and 1.2. Please see the attached images for your reference.

 

In image 1.1, dextral fault and dip-slip fault are both incorrect. You only need to choose one on sinistral fault or oblique fault.

 

In image 1.2, letters C and B are both incorrect. You only need to choose one between A and D.

 

PART 1.2
Which of the following is not true for normal faults:
O The maximum principal stress is vertical and corresponds to gravitation load
O Pure dip slip occurs only if the strike of the fault plane is orthogonal to direction of minimum normal stress
The sense o
f simple shear movement on these faults impliles an extension of the block towards direction of maximum normal stress
O Normal faults exist in collision boundaries
