Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The shear zone and fault (S) is the feature that formed during the time when these two terranes joined. This is because when two terranes (tectonic plates) collide, there is often a lot of movement along the boundary between them, which can create faults and shear zones. The other options, sediment with fossils (F), the overlapping sedimentary unit (O), and the pluton (P), are not necessarily directly related to the process of two terranes joining.
