1. Effects of faults in different types of folded strata is same as dipping strata.
a) True
b) False
Explanation: The effects of faults on different types of folded sequence is broadly the same as in plainly dipping strata. But with changes in the altitude of the faults or that of rocks, quite complicated results may be seen.
2. What is the effect of faults on topography?
a) Fault gaps
b) Crust extension
c) Fault scarps
d) Crevices
Explanation: One of the main effects of the faults on topography is that they very often result in the development of distinct types of steep slopes which are aptly called fault scarps.
3.The type of scarps not considered under study is ___________
a) Fault scarps
b) Dip scarps
c) Fault-line scarps
d) Composite-fault scarps
Explanation: Three types of fault associated scarps are often recognized: fault scarps, fault-line scarps and composite-fault scarps.
4. The fault which is the result of both fault scarps and fault-line scarps is?
a) Compound-fault scarps
b) Composite-fault scarps
c) Dual-fault scarps
d) By-fault scarps
Explanation: When a given slope is believed to be the result of both of these processes, fault scarp and fault-line scarp, the scarp is of composite type, and is called composite-fault scarp.
5. The type of scarp involving erosion is ___________
a) Fault scarp
b) Fault-line scarp
c) Composite-fault scarp
d) Dip-fault scarp
Explanation: In the fault-line scarp, the relief is produced due to the process of unequal erosion along the fault line with the passage of time.
6. What is the criteria for a covered surface to be said a fault?
a) Polished surface
b) Grooves
c) Striations
d) Polished surface, grooves and striations
Explanation: An exposed or covered surface may be suspected of being a faulted surface if it polished, and carries grooves and striations.
7. What is the reason for abrupt termination?
a) Breaking of strata into blocks
b) Movement of the disrupted blocks away from each other
c) Breaking of strata into blocks and movement of disrupted blocks away from each other
d) Movement of the disrupted blocks towards each other
Explanation: A group of beds or some veins or dykes may abruptly terminate along a surface in a given region. This may generally be due to breaking of the strata into blocks and movement of the disrupted blocks away from each other.
8. What is indicative of faulting?
a) Repetition
b) Omission
c) Repetition and omission
d) Cracking
Explanation: When in the field the same layer or rock is encountered more than once in a certain section, that is, it is repeated in space, faulting is indicated. Similarly, omission of certain of beds in some directions as proved by thorough study of stratigraphy of the region, is also indicative of faulting.
9. Disruption of beds due to faulting results in their ___________
a) Displacement
b) Settling
c) Inclination
d) Change in their composition
Explanation: Disruption of the beds due to faulting generally results in their displacement, which may be determined in terms of slip, separation, offset and gap etc.
10. What kind of evidence the physiographic features provide?
a) Direct
b) Indirect
c) Certain
d) Uncertain
Explanation: Some physiographic features may serve as indirect evidence of faults. Among them, the most important are: aligned springs and offset streams
