What is created when rocks move apart?
Rocks moving apart can cause normal faults to form, as opposed to reverse and strike-slip faults.
What types of faults formed in compressional stress?
reverse fault
Three types of faults?
The normal fault, the thrust fault, the transcurrent fault , and the reverse fault.
What kind of fault moves because it is under compression?
Reverse faults move due to being under pressure.
What type of stress faults produces reverse faults?
compression
Compare normal faults to reverse faults?
Normal is always on the ocean border and reverse is always not in an ocean border
What is the main direction of stress on blocks of rock at normql faults reverse faults and strike-slip faults?
The main direction of the stress on blocks of rock at normal faults, reverse faults and the strike slip faults usually happens at the weak areas.
Normal and reverse faults are characterized mainly by?
dip-slip faults
What Types of landforms made by reverse faults?
Landforms created at reverse faults include mountain ranges and volcanoes. Reverse faults occur at convergent boundaries and the type of convergent boundary determines the landform created.
Are normal and reverse faults caused by compression?
Reverse failts are caused by compression. Normal faults however are formed by tension.
Two types of faults can result in mountains which are they?
The two types of faults that can result in mountains are reverse faults and normal faults.
How faults are made?
Faults are created when tectonic plates are stretching or compressing. There are two types of faults which are normal and reverse faults.
