Normal faults form ________stress, reverse faults form __________stress and strike-slip faults form___________stress.

Normal faults form when the crust is pulled apart by tension. Reverse faults form under compression, which pushes the crust together, while strike-slip faults form when blocks slide past each other under shearing stress. Therefore, the correct choice is “tension, compression, shearing.”
