Which type of fault is likely to form in an area where rock layer have been folded?
Folding is usually the result of compressional stress. This may also cause thrust / reverse faults.
Are reverse faults rock layers placed under tensional stress?
no, reverse fault rock layers are placed under compressional stress.
What kind of stress causes fault block mountains?
The kind of stress that causes fault block mountains is Tension
Which type of fault is the result of tension and why?
Normal Fault
What is the result When a hanging wall of a fault slips down with respect to the footwall?
Normal Fault

What types of faults formed in compressional stress?
reverse fault

Are reverse faults rock layers placed under tensional stress?
no, reverse fault rock layers are placed under compressional stress.
What kind of stress causes fault block mountains?
The kind of stress that causes fault block mountains is Tension
Which type of fault is the result of tension forces?
A normal fault.
What kind of stress does normal fault form?
Normal fault forms tension stress. It is a stress state wherein a body of material is being stretched or expanded.
What type of stress caused the fault shown in the image?
normal fault
Which type of fault is the result of tension and why?
Normal Fault
What fault formed as a result of horizontal compression?
normal fault
What type of fault is likely to form in an area where rock layer has been folded?
Probably reverse fault because folding is the result of compressional stres and reverse faults are caused by compression
What is falting rock?
Faulting is caused by stress in the rock layers, the stress can break and crack the rock causing a fault. There are two types of faults a normal fault and a reverse fault.
