A ________ is a special type of reverse fault where the fault plane angle is very low

Large areas of flat topped rocks called ________ are often produced with folded mountains.

An _________ fold is an upcurved fold in which the oldest rock is pushed to the center

Rock at low temperatures is most likely to:

A ________forms when compression causes the hanging wall to move up relative to the footwall.

At a ________ the hanging wall moves DOWN relative to the footwall. This happens due to tension
