True or False: Strike-slip faults are caused by compressional stress.
Consider what happens when forces push in opposite directions.
Given the following scenarios, classify each as a normal, reverse, or strike-slip fault: a landscape being pulled apart in a rift valley; a mountain range created by colliding tectonic plates; two rocks sliding past each other.
