What type of fault is rose canyon fault?
It is a strike-slip fault.
Which type of fault is the result of tension and why?
Normal Fault
Which type of fault is the most common in the san andrears fault system?
Strike-slip faults are the most common fault type around the San Andreas Fault.
What type of weathering cause rock formation?
Erosion, or deformation. The water will slowly chip off the bits of lose rock. Deformation is when tectonic plates collide causing bending, or folding in the crust. The same for Covergent Boundries, when plates collide, Divergent Boundaries, when plates pull apart, and then Transform Boundaries, like the San Andreas fault. It took me 15 days to learn this, you 30 seconds. ! :)
Which major type of rock is most likely to experience brittle deformation?
Igneous rock
The type of deformation in which the object permanently changes size and shape without fracturing is called?
Ductile deformation
What type of deformation leads to earthquakes?
iT CHANGES THE SHAPE OF THE ROCK BUT DOES NOT CAUSE EARTHQUAKES
What type of deformation is the opposite of stretching?
Bending
Which type of location is earthquake risk the greattest?
On a fault line. For example, California is on the San Andreas fault, and as such is very earthquake prone.
What type of fault is hayward fault?
The Hayward Fault is a Strike-slip Fault.
What type of fault is the Calaveras Fault?
strike-slip fault
The San Andreas fault is an excellent example of what kind of fault?
The San Andreas Fault is an example of a transform boundary in which plates slide past each other. This type of fault may also be known as a strike slip fault. During this plate motion, lithosphere is neither created nor destroyed. Shear stress causes the undeformed block of rock to experience tearing and smearing.
What are some learned behavior example?
