Question

_____ is a place where the crust of the lithosphere has fractured.

A fault
A subduction zone
An oceanic trench
A river

Answer 1

• A fault
• A subduction zone

Both faults and subduction zones involve the fracturing of the lithosphere. An oceanic trench is the result of tectonic activity but is not specifically a fracture. A river does not involve fracturing of the crust.
