You are standing on one side of a strike-slip fault and looking across the fault to the other side. Near you is a fence that trends perpendicular to the fault and you notice that when the fence crosses the fault it bends to your right. Which kind of fault is this?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is

Right lateral fault

Step-by-step explanation:

Strike-slip faults are vertically inclined  tectonics fractures where the blocks are horizontally displaced. The slip style is determined by the direction the block moves in relation to an observer looking across it.

A right lateral slip style fault occurs where the block moves to the right in relation to an observer looking across it. Where  the block shifts to left of the observer, it is known as left lateral
