When the hanging walls moves up relatives to the footwall it is a?
Thrust
What are the movements produced by the three types of faults?
-Normal Faults form when the hanging wall moves down. -Reverse Faults form when the hanging wall moves up. -Strike-Slip Faults have walls that moce sideways, instead of up or down.
What happens along a fault?
the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall
What is it when something occurs when the hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall?
No
In A Blank Fault The Hanging Wall Moves Up Relative To The Footwall?
In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, whereas in a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
When the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall what is that called?
It is called a Normal Fault.
Is a hanging wall the same as a footwall?
No, a hanging wall and a footwall are not the same in geology. The hanging wall is the block of rock above a fault line that moves down relative to the footwall, which is the block of rock below the fault line that moves up.
What are the 2 types of faultung?
The two main types of faulting are normal faulting, where the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, and reverse faulting, where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
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.
How does the hanging wall in a normal fault move in relation to a reverse fault?
In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall, creating extensional forces. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall, generating compressional forces.
In a fault the hanging wall moves down relative to the football.?
In a fault where the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, it is classified as a normal fault. This movement typically occurs due to extensional forces that pull the Earth's crust apart. Normal faults are commonly associated with rift zones and can lead to the formation of valleys or basins. They contrast with reverse faults, where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
When a hanging wall moves up to the footwall it is a?
reverse fault. but that is when the foot wall moves down, the hanging wall moves up. in a strike-slip fault, they slide past each other, the foot wall and hanging wall are not there because it has to be like this to be a reverse or normal fault: hanging wall ----------foot wall ----------- in this diagram, the foot wall has moved down making the hanging wall move up to form a reverse fault. remember this on tests: the hanging wall is always above the fault line: /hanging wall above foot wall below / /
