the answer is that compression is the kind of stress.
What else can I help you with?
What stress causes a fault?
In a reverse fault the maximum principal stress is horizontal, compression causes reverse (thrust) faults.
What types of faults formed in compressional stress?
reverse fault
Which type of fault is under compression?
Reverse and thrust faults are both under compressive stress.
How do reverse faults move?
reverse faults move from compression when the hanging wall moves up
What type of stress faults produces reverse faults?
compression
What are the three major types of faults are normal reverse and syncline.?
The three major types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Synclines are not faults but rather geological structures that describe the folding of rock layers.
What is the main direction of stress on blocks of rock at normql faults reverse faults and strike-slip faults?
The main direction of the stress on blocks of rock at normal faults, reverse faults and the strike slip faults usually happens at the weak areas.
What boundary do reverse faults form at?
the best answer is reverse boundary
Are normal and reverse faults caused by compression?
Reverse failts are caused by compression. Normal faults however are formed by tension.
How faults are made?
Faults are created when tectonic plates are stretching or compressing. There are two types of faults which are normal and reverse faults.
What are the three types of faults and what type of plate boundary are they associated with?
The three types of faults are normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults. Normal faults are associated with divergent plate boundaries, reverse faults with convergent plate boundaries, and strike-slip faults with transform plate boundaries.
Why do reverse faults occur at deeper depths than the other two types of faults?
Because they form in areas of compression such as within the descending slabs of crust at subduction zones. These are in turn the deepest layers within the earth where brittle deformations such as reverse faulting can occur.
