What are 6 facts about a normal fault?
Normal faults have a hanging wall and footwall Normal Faults are common at mid-ocean ridges Normal Faults occur where the crust is being pulled apart at the divergent plate boudary. Sorry i only have 3 facts, but I anyone with the question
What term describes down-dropped blocks of crust bounded by steeply dipping normal faults?
tacitos
How is a Normal fault formed?
Faults are formed when a large crack in the Earth's crust move. One part of the crust moves against another part. Normal faults occur when strong forces deep underground pulls the sides apart, and the upper side, or the hanging wall will drop down.
What are normal faults caused by?
Normal faults are caused by tension in the movement of rocks
Does subduction occur where crust is form where crust is destroyed near transform boundaries or at normal faults?
because the hulk and iron man are gettin bis-ay, if you know what i mean, and this makes earthquakes
Do normal faults result in crustal shortening?
Normal faults thin and extend the earth's crust. Reverse faults cause crustal shortening and thickening.
What are normal faults produced by?
Tensile stress within the crust.
Lower block of crust between two normal faults?
It is called Graben
What are the three mayor faults?
Faults are surfaces along the earths crust in which rocks have been fractured and displaced. There are three types of faults: strike-slip, normal and reverse.

How do motions affect Earth's crust?
Plate motions produce stress in Earths crust that leads to faults, mountain building, and earthquakes.

Do earthquakes spread the earth apart?
Not necessarily. Earthquakes occur when there is movement along cracks in the Earth's crust called faults. There are three main types of fault, all of which can produce earthquakes. Normal faults usually occur where the crust is being pulled apart. Reverse faults, also called thrust faults, are usually found where sections of the crust are pushed together. Transform faults occur where sections of the crust slide past each other horizontally, neither pushing together nor pulling apart.
What are the three types of fault lines?
There are three types of fault lines in the crust. There are divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries.
What are the three types of faults that occur in the earth ' s crust?
normal and rivesre fault, thrust fault, dip-strike fault.
