Figures (a) and (b) show S-C structure and en-echelon veins in two different shear zones. Which one of the following options is correct interpretation of sense of shear in figures (a) and (b)? 
To determine the sense of shear in Figures (a) and (b), we need to understand the characteristics of S-C structures and en-echelon veins.

Thus, both figures exhibit dextral shear characteristics. This leads us to conclude the correct option is:
(a) dextral; (b) dextral
Each of the following two figures shows a pair of overlapping strike-slip faults with sense of movement.

Predict the nature of structures in the overlapping zones of each pair of faults.
