d. strike slip margin

Answer: a

Explanation:

groundwater table

The answer is: d. strike slip margin.

Explanation:

Copper ore deposits in Arizona and New Mexico are associated with dioritic plutons formed along an old strike slip margin.

The geological faults are structures that denote relative movement between two blocks of rock, are formed by fragile deformation in the earth's crust, the types of faults are characterized by the heading or direction, the plane of the fault plane and the kinematics of the fault.

Strike-slip faults are vertical, or nearly vertical, fractures where the blocks have mostly moved horizontally.

The answer is: d. strike slip margin.
