in order to find this out you will have to multiply 25 by 1.5. you will then get 37.5 cm of total slippage
25*1.5= 37.5 years
Fault creep is slow movement along a fault line with NO resulting earthquake.
Faults are breaks in the crust where the crust has moved. The types of dip-slip faults are normal and reverse faults. In both of these, the movement is along the slope of the fault. Sudden movements along these faults can produce fault scarps. Layers of rock being misaligned is evidence of fault movement. Fault creep is caused by slow movement along the fault.In a normal fault, the plates are moving away from each other. This is due to tension. When the fault moves, the footwall rises relative to the hanging wall. Normal faults occur at divergent boundaries, such as ocean ridges. Normal faults can produce fault-block mountains.In a reverse fault, the plates are moving towards each other. This is due to compression. Here, the footwall falls relative to the hanging wall. A thrust fault is a special type of reverse fault, where the angle is shallow. Reverse faults occur at convergent boundaries, like subduction zones.A strike-slip fault is where the two plates move horizontally past each other. The force between them is called shearing. This type of fault is often called a transform fault, because they occur at transform boundaries.
A transform boundary.
The "plates" shift. They move up and down, side to side, and forced against each other, one side may shift above the other
Yes, for instance the San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault and the famous San Fransisco earthquake happened on it. However in a pure transform fault movement, there is little or no vertical displacement and in some instances transform faults may move by a process of slow creep causing only minor earthquake swarms instead of big jolts.
A normal fault is the result of the downward movement of rock along the fault line.
Yes, seismic waves are the result of energy released by the movement of rocks along faults.
The sudden movement could result in an earthquake.
The movement of the crust along a thrust fault is usually a reverse movement unlike the movement 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.
A fault is the boundary between two tectonic plates, those "pieces" of the earth's crust that move very slowly, changing the shape of our continents and oceans over huge amounts of time. Crust plates move just a few centimeters a year overall, but sometimes that movement can happen in short bursts, which we know as earthquakes.
No it is a result of a Divergent fault.
