Which fault areas appear to have symmetric magnetic striping? 1 and 3 have similar vertical slanted striping. 5. What kind of fault must be present in these areas to account for symmetric magnetic striping? Divergent. 6. What kind of fault lines must Fault 2 and Fault 4 represent? Explain. Transform, they are more horizontally facing. Transform faults are ones that slide horizontally passed each other. 7. What is the name of this mountain range? The Cascade mountains. 8.
