What kind of fault forms when rock is pulled apart?
A normal fault would form.
What kind of rock forms when rock is pulled apart?
A normal fault would form.
What type of fault forms when plates converge?
a reverse fault is formedmountains
What type of strain is on a normal fault?
In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, resulting in extensional strain. This type of fault forms in response to tensional stress in the Earth's crust, such as the pulling apart of tectonic plates.
What type of boundary forms when two plates pull apart?
When the two plates are pulled apart it forms a Constructive Plate Boundary. When it is pulled apart, a big hole is made so material from the mantle fills the void and creates a new crust. It can be seen as a wound for example, a scab begins to repair the wound but any stress cracks it apart, that causes the blood (mantle) to ooze back in again to reform a new scab (crust).Hope I helped :)wrong...it's divergent.
What kind of fault occurs at the divergent plate boundaries?
A normal
What is the long crack that forms as two tectonic plates move apart?
The long crack that forms as two tectonic plates move apart is called a rift. It is typically seen in divergent plate boundaries, where the plates separate and magma from the mantle can rise to create new crust. Over time, as the plates continue to move apart, the rift can widen and eventually lead to the formation of a new ocean basin.
What type of volcano forms where plates pull apart?
A shield volcano forms where plates pull apart. This type of volcano has gentle sloping sides and is characterized by its low viscosity lava flows. Examples of shield volcanoes include those in Hawaii.
When two plates move apart underwater what forms?
an earthquake
What forms when two crustal plates move apart?
an earthquake
How a fault mountains forms?
when 2 plates move away from each other
Name and describe the type of tectonic stress that forms fault - block mountains?
The type of tectonic stress that forms fault-block mountains is known as extensional stress. This stress occurs when the Earth's lithosphere is being pulled apart, causing blocks of crust to move vertically. As the blocks are uplifted and tilted along fault lines, fault-block mountains are created.
