A scientist observes rock masses that have moved past each other in opposite horizontal directions. Which feature does the scientist observe?
A. plateau
B. syncline
C. strike-slip fault
D. fault-block mountain

C. strike-slip fault

Explanation:

The scientist must have observed a strike- slip fault.

A fault is an evidence of brittle deformation of the crust in the presence of applied stress on earth materials. Here, the earth material is the rock subjected to tension.

Where a fault occurs, there must have been movement between two blocks of rocks. The direction of movement helps us to delineate the fault type.

Option A, Plateau is a table landform usually a mountain with flat peak.

Option B is a bowl shaped stratigraphic pattern in which the youngest sequence is at the core of the strata or a fold.

So, the most fitting option is C, a strike-slip fault.

i think its d if wrong im sorry
