Are the three types of faults normal faults backward faults and slip faults?
No. Your terminology is close but not quite right. The three main types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Strike-slip faults may also be called transform faults.
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 are are earths faults different from your faults?
Your faults are flaws in your personality. Earth's faults are cracks in the ground along which blocks of rock move.
Which kind of boundary is seen in earthquakes that are normal faults?
Transform boundaries are seen in earthquakes that are caused by normal faults. Some types of faults are listric or ring faults.
What are normal faults caused by?
Normal faults are caused by tension in the movement of rocks
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.

Is the Earth's crust made up of sections of rock called faults?
plates
What is the balcones fault zones?
it made up of normal faults, grabens and horsts
What kind fault lines are there?
There are 6 types of fault lines. Strike-slip faults, dip-slip faults, oblique- slip faults, listric faults, ring faults, and synthetic and antithetic faults.

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.
What are the faults in the cable?
Cable faults are normally categorised as (a) conductor-to-earth (ground) faults, (b) conductor-to-conductor faults, and (c) conductor-to-conductor-to earth (ground) faults. In addition to that, we can categorise them by whether they are 'high-resistance' or 'low-resistance' faults.
What does normal faulting mean?
Normal faults are when you have hanging walls that slide down relative to and below the footwall. Dip-slip faults are normal faults.
