The 4 main types of fault are summarised below:
Dip slip faults are those where the relative motion on the fault is broadly vertical. Examples include normal faults where the hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall. Reverse faults have the opposite sense of motion, with the hangingwall moving up relative to the footwall. Thrust faults are a special type of reverse fault where the dip of the fault plane is at a shallower angle than 45 degrees from the horizontal.
Strike slip or transcurrent faults are those where the relative motion on the fault is broadly horizontal. The fault plane in these types of faults is normally near vertical and the sense of motion is described in terms of the relative movement of the rockmass on the far side of the fault plane. If this relative movement is to the left, then it is known as a sinistral fault. If he motion is to the right it is a dextral fault.
Oblique slip faults are those have have a significant component of both vertical and horizontal movement. They can be thought of a composite of the dip slip and strike slip faults.
Listric faults are characterised by a curved fault plane surface. They usually start of relatively steep and then become more shallow with increased depth and may ultimately become horizontal.
Previous Answer:
The four different types of faults are normal, reverse, transcurrent (also known as strike-slip), and thrust. Normal faults are so named because movement follows what would be expected from normal effects of gravity--one plate slides downward, pulled by gravity, and the other plate forms a cliff face. The reverse fault, then, is the opposite of a normal fault--one plate moves against gravity and slides over the other. Transcurrent faults feature horizontal movement rather than up/down movement; plates slide along each other, resulting in offset roads and such. Finally, thrust faults are similar to reverse faults--one plate moves over the other--but the angles of movement for thrust faults are generally less steep, and thrust faults are more commonly associated with geographical features such as mountain ranges.
only 1. fault plane- surface of a fault along which movement of rocks occurs.
2. thrust fault type of reverse fault- in which the fault plane is nearly horisontal rather than vertical.
3.strike slip fault- fault in which the rock on either saide of a fault olane slides horizontally
4.normal fault- fault i which the hanging wall moves down realtive tothe footwall.
the three types of faults are normal (colliding), reverse (moving apart), strike-slip (sliding past each other)
There are only 3 basic types of fault, not 4.
Normal faults, reverse faults, and last but not least transform faults.
There are three types of fault lines in the crust. There are divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries.
All faults are associated with stress, as summarised below: Normal faults - tensile stress Reverse / thrust faults - compressive stress Strike slip faults - shear stress
Oceanic-oceanic plate divergence, such as that occurring at the mid-ocean ridges.
The normal fault, the thrust fault, the transcurrent fault , and the reverse fault.
Normal faults, reverse faults, and last but not least transform faults.
The two types of faults that can result in mountains are reverse faults and normal faults.
The three types of faults are Normal faults, Reverse faults, and Strike and Slip fault
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.
no
Faults are created when tectonic plates are stretching or compressing. There are two types of faults which are normal and reverse faults.
reverse fault
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.
There are three types of fault lines in the crust. There are divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries.
