Compressional force occurs on __________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Compressional force occurs on reverse faults, where two blocks of rock are pushed together, causing one block to move up and over the other block. Normal faults occur when two blocks of rock pull apart, and strike-slip faults occur when two blocks of rock slide past each other horizontally. The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake, which is not related to compressional force.
