What fault is associated with shear stress?
Strike slip faults and transform faults are associated with shear stress.
Which regimes are associated with normal faults?
Rifting.
What type of faults don't cause tsunamis?
Strike-slip faults generally do not produce tsunamis.
What type of faults are associated with fault-block mountains?
Yes reverse faults create mountains. this happens by 2 plates collide.
Are there any faults or joints at flamborough head?
Flambrough Head is a chalk headland with sheer white cliffs. Without looking at a Geological Map of the area I can not tell you if there are any faults running through it (but it is likely) but the Chalk rock will be jointed. I believe there are stacks and caves associated with the headland and these are probably associated with the majour joints (perhaps faults).
What are faults generally closely associated with?
gradpoint: anticlines
What fault is associated with shear stress?
Strike slip faults and transform faults are associated with shear stress.
What faults are correctly associated with which types of stress?
All faults are associated with stress, as summarised below: Normal faults - tensile stress Reverse / thrust faults - compressive stress Strike slip faults - shear stress
What are earthquakes associated with?
Faults
What catastrophic event are faults associated with?
Earthquakes.
Which regimes are associated with normal faults?
Rifting.
In geology what are strikes and dips associated with?
Earthquakes and Faults.
What is the type of stress associated with normal faults?
extensional
What type of faults don't cause tsunamis?
Strike-slip faults generally do not produce tsunamis.
What type of faults are associated with fault-block mountains?
Yes reverse faults create mountains. this happens by 2 plates collide.
What are the major faults of a step down transformer?
A step-down transformer does just what it's designed to do, so there are no 'major' faults associated with it.
What type of stress is most directly associated with transform faults?
Shear Stress.
