Question 14 • 2026-27 AL-Earth and Space Science
Compressional stress squeezes rock layers together, causing them to bend into folds. The upward arch is an anticline, and the downward trough is a syncline, so “anticline and syncline” is correct. Normal faults usually form under tension, while strike-slip faults form when rocks slide horizontally past each other.
