Which landform is most commonly caused by faulting?

Answer
A
rift valleys
B
volcanic islands
C
plateaus
D
folded mountains

Explanation

Faulting occurs when rocks in Earth’s crust break and move along cracks. When two blocks move apart, the land between them can drop down, forming a rift valley. Folded mountains form mainly by bending, while volcanic islands form from eruptions.
