Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A, B, and C are all geological features related to faulting or earthquakes. A scarp is a steep slope or cliff formed by the movement of a fault. Slump blocks are large sections of rock that move along a fault or slide downwards due to gravity. A rupture surface is the plane where the rocks on either side of a fault slip past each other during an earthquake. However, a translation surface refers to a type of mathematical surface in geometry and does not fit the pattern of geological features related to faulting or earthquakes.
