Toby is late to science class and misses the very beginning of notes for the day. These are the notes that he did copy down.

-Break in Earth’s crust
-Movement of plates relative to each other
-Shown on geologic maps by
-Solid line if on surface
-Dashed line if below surface

What should Toby title these notes?

Contacts
Faults
Geologic Maps
Map Keys

Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Faults are defined as the planar discontinuities on the rocks of earth's crust. These are the lines along which one block goes up and the other goes down. There occurs relative displacement of crustal rocks.

These fault lines are often shown in the topographic maps. They are highlighted by the dashed lines when they are present below the surface. And if they are present on the surface of the land, then they are often represented by the solid line.

The lithospheric plates move relative to each other during earthquakes.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
