How can compression forces make rocks move along a reverse fault?
Trust faults typically have low dip angles. A high-angle thrust fault is called a reverse fault. A reverse fault occurs primarily across lithological units where as a thrust usually occurs within or at a low angle to lithological units.
How does the movement of the crust along a thrust fault differ from that along a normal fault?
The movement of the crust along a thrust fault is usually a reverse movement unlike the movement along a normal fault.
Along what type of fault was the 1964 Alaska earthquake?
The Alaska earthquake of 1964 occurred along a subduction zone, which consists largely of reverse faults.
Does an object at rest have forces acting on it and if so what forces would be along the vertical axis?
All objects on earth have the force of Gravity acting on them.
How does a thrust fault form?
A high-angle fault under compression

How do forces act on truss bridges?
There are many forces acting on a truss bridge compression, tension, and torsion. The truss bridge uses equilateral triangles to spread out the stress of the load on these forces along the hold structure.
Describe the movements that occur along each of the 3 types of faults?
Shearing, tension, and compression work over millions of years to change the shape and volume of rock
What waves moves along the vibration?
Compression waves
What happens to rocks along a fault line?
reverse fault

The British were attacked in the Mississippi Valley and along the Gulf of Mexico by forces from Spain.

Describe what happens along a fault beneath earths surace when an earthquake occurs?
the tectonic plates start to collide which causes shearing, so the epicenter is forces to move farther down the path of the fault.
What is a concurrent forces?
Non concurrent forces are those forces that do not have a common point of intersection and act along different lines of action.
Where are compression fractures most common?
Compression fractures are most common along the spine involving the vertebrae. This is when a bone in the spine collapses and is most commonly found in the thoracic area of the spine.
Is a reverse fault often located along a divergent plate boundary or convergent?
A reverse fault is often found at convergent plate boundaries.
