Answer: Option A. -> Reverse fault
Answer: (a)
When the following fissures in the rocks it’s both parts slide in front and one part slides over the other, the resulting feature is Reverse fault.
Reverse faults are exactly the opposite of normal faults. If the hanging wall rises relative to the footwall, you have a reverse fault.

Answer: Option C. -> The point on the earth’s surface vertically above the seismic focus
Answer: (c)
The epicentre is the point on the Earth's surface that is directly above the hypocenter or focus, the point where an earthquake or underground explosion originates.
In the case of earthquakes, the epicentre is directly above the point where the fault begins to rupture, and in most cases, it is the area of greatest damage.

Answer: Option D. -> Gorge
Answer: (d)
Youthful drivers or streams are typically found in the highland or mountainous areas. They are characterized by steep slopes, a relatively small volume of water and rapid flow. Soil particles carried by youthful streams flow along the ground, wearing downhill slopes as the water flows down.
In this youthful stage of the river, such features as small lakes, waterfalls, rapids, V-shaped valleys, gorges and interlocking spurs are frequently found.

Answer: Option B. -> Greenwich
Answer: (b)
A prime meridian is a meridian, i.e. a line of longitude, at which longitude is defined to be 0°.
An international conference in 1884 decided the prime meridian passes through the Royal Observatory, Greenwich in southeast London, United Kingdom, known simply as the prime meridian.

Answer: (b)
Answer: (b)
Answer: Option D. -> 2 and 3
Answer: (d)
Answer: (d)
Answer: Option A. -> sandstone
Answer: (a)Sandstone is converted into quartzite through heating and pressure. Thus, Quartzite is metamorphosed from sandstone.

Answer: Option A. -> 1 and 2
Answer: (a)
Answer: (a)
Answer: Option A. -> Sandstone
Answer: (a)Quartzite is a non-foliated metamorphic rock composed almost entirely of quartz. It forms when quartz-rich sandstone is altered by the heat, pressure, and chemical activity of metamorphism.
