The evidences of normal faults in the United States.
Answer to Problem 15TE
The evidence of normal faults is found in the region of basin and range province of North America.
Explanation of Solution
The faults are referred to as the faults caused in the crust of the Earth. Generally, normal faults create space. In this type of fault, two blocks of crust are separated, resulting in stretching of crust into the valley. The normal faults take place due to the tensional stresses. These reverse faults take place when the rocks pull apart each other.
The evidence of normal faults is found in the region of basin and range province of North America.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the evidence of normal faults is found in the region of basin and range province of North America.
