Are the three types of faults normal faults backward faults and slip faults?
No. Your terminology is close but not quite right. The three main types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Strike-slip faults may also be called transform faults.
What are faults in california?
strike-slip faults where they move laterally
Are strike-slip faults caused by tension forces?
No, strike-slip faults are typically caused by horizontal shearing forces where blocks of the Earth's crust move past each other horizontally. Tension forces usually manifest in normal faults where blocks of the crust move away from each other, causing extension.
What kind fault lines are there?
There are 6 types of fault lines. Strike-slip faults, dip-slip faults, oblique- slip faults, listric faults, ring faults, and synthetic and antithetic faults.

Name three different kinds of faults?

What type of plate boundary are strike slip fault found?
Strike-Slip faults are found at transform boundaries because strike slip faults push and pull on opposing forces HORIZONTALLY exactly like a transform boundary.
