Answer 1

c. The oldest rocks are along a fault line

Step-by-step explanation:

• As geology, the fault lines are the lines of displacement of rocks where the volume of rocks gets significantly displaced such as the subduction zones. Where the younger rocks are found at the surfaces and the older rocks are formed at the depths of the earth.

• They are also formed where the magma rise and they are of various types as the normal, reverse and the slip strike faults.
