Which phrase explains how a range of fault-block mountains forms? A. Compression affects a small area of crust and acts for a long
period of time.

B. Eruptions of volcanoes cause many reverse faults to happen
slowly

C. Shear forces cause large earthquakes to happen often and
suddenly

D. Tension affects a wide area of crust and causes many normal
faults.

Fault-block mountains are formed by the movement of large crustal blocks along faults formed when tensional forces pull apart the crust . Tension is often the result of uplifting part of the crust; it can also be produced by opposite-flowing convection cells in the mantle.

D.Tension affects a wide area of crust and causes many normal

faults.

But thats my thought though.
