What is the relative age of fault or igneous intrusion that cuts through an unconformity?
If a fault or intrusion cuts through an unconformity, the fault or intrusion is younger than all the rocks it cuts through above and below the unconformity.
What is the relative age of a fault or igneous intrusion that cuts through an unconformity?
If a fault or intrusion cuts through an unconformity, the fault or intrusion is younger than all the rocks it cuts through above and below the unconformity.
How does the hanging wall in a normal fault move in relation to a reverse fault?
A normal fault is a fault in which the hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall.
What is an example of relative age dating in a rock record?
"Relative age describes the age of an object or event in comparison to another object of eveent. It determnes which evenets occurred earlier or later than others without giving a definite date." -from KCCT science book
What is a reverse fault and how does it form?
A fault in which the hanging wall has moved upward relative to the footwall
A fault can be useful in determining which group of rocks?
relative age

How does the hanging wall in a normal fault move in relation to a reverse fault?
A normal fault is a fault in which the hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall.
If a fault occurs in an area where rock layers have been folded what type fault would it be?
What is the relative age of a fault that cuts across three horizontal sedimentary rock layers?A. The fault is older than the middle layer. B.The fault is younger than all the layers it cuts across.C. The fault is the same age as the top layer. D. The fault is older than all the layers it cuts across == ==
What is the relative age of a fault that cuts across three horizontal sedimentary rock layers?
Younger than all three sediments.
What fault will the hanging wall move down relative to the footwall?
Normal Fault

In a fault the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall?
This is true of normal faults. In thrust or reverse faults, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall and in strike slip faults, it moves horizontally relative to the footwall.
In A Blank Fault The Hanging Wall Moves Up Relative To The Footwall?
Reverse Fault
Difference between joint and fault?
joint does not show any relative movement as fault does
What is a reverse fault and how does it form?
A fault in which the hanging wall has moved upward relative to the footwall
