Review: Crustal Deformation Processes Which of the following is incorrect regarding what happens when compressional and tensional forces are applied to rocks? A.Folding can occur. B.Thinning can occur. C.Faulting can occur. D.Subduction can occur.

5 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall, Pearson Education, Inc. Review: Crustal Deformation Processes A fault created when rocks are pulled apart from one another is a A.normal fault. B.reverse fault. C.thrust fault. D.strike-slip fault. E.thinning fault.

7 Copyright © 2009 Pearson Prentice Hall, Pearson Education, Inc. Review: Orogenesis Which of the following is true of orogenies? A.Most mountain ranges are the result of a single orogeny. B.Orogenesis continues today in many of the world’s ranges. C.A collision between two continental plates is required for an orogeny.
