1) Which of the following would one NOT find in the Himalayan Mountains as a result of the Indian and Asian plates colliding?
Folding
Thrust faults
Reverse faults
Normal faults
2) Which type(s) of stress can cause folding of crustal rock?
Compression
Shear
Tension
Folding can be caused by all three types of stress
Answer:
1. Normal fault is generally not found in the Himalayan mountain. As due to compression in the collision zone the reverse and thrust fault are found. And also large scale fold. Reverse faults are the case where hanging wall go upward in respect to footwall block due to the horizontal compression stress on the side of the blocks.
2. Compressional stress can causing folding of the rock through various mechanism like buckling bending etc.(shown in the figure below).
