This type of fault occurs when rock moves downward at the fault line?
A normal fault is the result of the downward movement of rock along the fault line.
This type of fault occurs when rock above the fault moves upward at the fault line?
Reverse Fault
What type of faulting characterizes mid-ocean ridges and why?
The type of faulting that characterizes mid-ocean ridges is a transform fault. This type of faulting occurs because transform fault ridges stay in the same fixed location, thus the new ocean sea floor being created at the ridges is pushed away from the ridge.
What type of fault is the Calaveras Fault?
strike-slip fault
Which type of fault cause a fault-block mountain to form?
Normal Fault
This type of fault occurs when rock moves downward at the fault line?
A normal fault is the result of the downward movement of rock along the fault line.
This type of fault occurs when rock above the fault moves upward at the fault line?
Reverse Fault
What is the type of the fault line in japan?
bla
What type of fault line is Mt Fuji on?
Yes
What type of fault is the Niagara?
The Niagara Escarpment is not a fault line at all; it appears to be a fault line due to unequal erosion. It spans about 650 miles in the Great Lakes region.
What type of fault causes the land to move downward?
In a normal fault the hanging wall moves downward. With this type of fault, the hanging wall also shifts horizontally away from the fault line.
What type of fault line is the mid-Atlantic ridge and why?
Divergent. This is because the two fault lines are pushing away from each other which allows the magma to come up through the crust from the mantle and core. This is what makes the volcanos which create islands such as Iceland.
Which type of location is earthquake risk the greattest?
On a fault line. For example, California is on the San Andreas fault, and as such is very earthquake prone.
What type of boundary does not include a subduction zone?
A couple different types... A strike-slip fault (either right lateral or left lateral) like the San Andreas fault in California. This type of fault moves horizontally. A divergent zone is where two plates are moving away from one another, like the mid Atlantic ridge.
What type of faulting characterizes mid-ocean ridges and why?
The type of faulting that characterizes mid-ocean ridges is a transform fault. This type of faulting occurs because transform fault ridges stay in the same fixed location, thus the new ocean sea floor being created at the ridges is pushed away from the ridge.
Which type of metamorphism is most likely to occur along the fault line?
Dynamic Metamorphism >.<
What type of fault is Mt Tambora?
Mt Tambora is on a Tectonic fault line called the Jave Trench System. Mt Tambora is an active stratovolcano. It is located in Indonesia.
