What ways earthquakes shake?
they can shake in reverse fault, normal fault, strike-slip fault.
What kind of faults do you have?
There are three kinds of faults. First there is the Strike-Slip fault. Second there is the Normal Fault and third of all there is the Reverse Fault.
Where can a normal fault occur?
Fault line between the plates
The rocks above a what fault are forced up and over below the fault?
A reverse fault is formed here
In a reverse fault where does the hanging wall move relative of the foot wall?
thrust
What is the difference between a reverse and normal fault and how does stress relate to the formation of each?
The difference between a reverse and a normal fault are that they are spelled differently. My professor Dr. Tseng said so.
Is the Owens Valley a reverse fault?
The Owens Valley is NOT a reverse fault. This valley is a normal fault.
What is the opposite of a reverse fault?
A normal fault is the opposite of a reverse fault.
Name three different kinds of faults?
three kinds of faults are normal fault, reverse fault, and strike-slip fault.
What is the difference between a normal fault and reverse fault?
A Reverse fault is happens when tectonic forces cause compression that PUSHES rocks together. Normal fault happens when tectonic forces cause tension that PULLS rocks apart.Normal fault is when the hanging block moves down relative to foot block wall where as the reverse fault is formed when the hanging block wall moves up relative to the foot block walls a result of tension and compression force respectively
Difference between thrust and reverse fault?
There is a slight difference. A thrust fault is a variety of reverse fault with a dip angle of less than 45 degrees.
What are the three faults in scienceNomal Fault Reverse fault and?
normal reverse strike-slip
What are some fault?
normal fault reverse fault slip strike fault
What are the 3 fault's?
normal fault, reverse fault, strike-slip fault,
What characteristics of a fault tell you whether it is a normal fault or a reverse fault?
A reverse fault is in a zone of compressional faulting, rocks in the hanging wall are pushed up relative to rocks in the footwall. A normal fault is in a zone of tensional faulting, rocks in the hanging wall drop down relative to those in a footwall forming a normal fault.
By what type of fault were the sierra mountains formed?
Normal fault, i believe is true.
What is the difference between a strike slip fault and a normal fault?
strike-slip has a horizontal motion
