The earthquake also provided opportunities for researchers to retrofit data in order to model future earthquake predictions. Using data from the Intermagnet Lanzhou (LZH) geomagnetic observatory, geologists Lazo Pekevski from University Saints Cyril and Methodius in Skopje, Macedonia and Strachimir Cht. Mavrodiev from the Bulgarian Academy of Science showed the possibility to predict the time of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake ±1 day.[178]

How does the hanging wall in a normal fault move in relation to a reverse fault?
A normal fault is a fault in which the hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall.
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.
What is another name of a normal fault?
In a normal fault, the fault is at an angle, so one block of rock lies above the fault while the other lies below it. The rock above it is the hanging wall and the rock below it is the footwall. In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves downwards relative to the footwall.
What is a fault that is formed when compression causes the hanging wall to move over the foot wall is a?
This is called a reverse or thrust fault.
What are the movements produced by the three types of faults?
-Normal Faults form when the hanging wall moves down. -Reverse Faults form when the hanging wall moves up. -Strike-Slip Faults have walls that moce sideways, instead of up or down.
Difference between normal fault and reverse fault?
The movement of the Hanging wall in the normal fault downward with the gravity whereas in the Reverse fault the hanging wall moved upward against the gravity
What is the difference between a normal and reverse water pump for a Chevy engine?
the normal is regular and a reverse is better
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.
How are normal and reverse faults differ?
Normal faults are where the hanging wall drops in relation to the foot wall where as with the reverse fault the hanging wall is pushed higher over the foot wall.
How does the hanging wall in a normal fault move in relation to a reverse fault?
A normal fault is a fault in which the hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall.
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.
What is a reverse fault type of earthquake?
its when the hanging and foot wall push together and the hanging wall goes upward a normal fault is the other way around when the walls are pulled apart and the hanging wall goes down Reverse-Convergent Normal- Divergent
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
Does a normal faults hanging wall go up?
No, that is called a reverse fault.
In a fault the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall?
This is true of normal faults. In thrust or reverse faults, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall and in strike slip faults, it moves horizontally relative to the footwall.
In a reverse fault where does the hanging wall move relative of the foot wall?
thrust
When a hanging wall moves up to the footwall it is a?
reverse fault. but that is when the foot wall moves down, the hanging wall moves up. in a strike-slip fault, they slide past each other, the foot wall and hanging wall are not there because it has to be like this to be a reverse or normal fault: hanging wall ----------foot wall ----------- in this diagram, the foot wall has moved down making the hanging wall move up to form a reverse fault. remember this on tests: the hanging wall is always above the fault line: /hanging wall above foot wall below / /
