Name the different faults of earthquakes?
Strike-Slip, Reverse, and Normal Faults.A more detailed answerThere are broadly 5 types of fault. These include the following:Dip-slip faultsStrike-slip / transcurrent faultsOblique-slip faultsListric faultRing faultDip 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 the motion is to the right it is a dextral fault.Oblique slip faults are those which have a significant component of both vertical and horizontal movement. They can be thought of as a composite of the dip slip and strike slip faults.Listric faults are characterised by a curved fault plane surface. They usually start off relatively steep and then become more shallow with increased depth and may ultimately become horizontal.Ring faults are a special type of fault associated with the formation of a caldera during the collapse of a volcano.
What are some tennis words that begin with the letter F?
Fault Foot fault.
What is the average labor cost to hang drywall?
they figure a man can hang about 6-8 sheets 4x8 an hour - when you figure in cutting round outlets - windows ect. drywallers don't make alot of money say -8.00 to 15.00 an hour ....... drywall is usually charged by the square foot --- at .60-1.25 a foot including finishing ...... .15 to .40 just for hanging ...... question is why are you onlly hanging 4x8 sheets -- you should be hanging 4x8, 4x10, 4x12, 4x14, 4x16 whatever it takes to make as least amount of joints possible- that's how you save money !
When you take your foot off the clutch when in 1st gear or reverse your '92 Escort will not move what is wrong?
If it does this in all gears, I bet your clutch is shot. Other things that could cause problems are the Clutch master cylinder or clutch slave cylinder.
What is The plantar region of the foot?
Sole of the foot
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 the difference between a normal fault and reverse fault?
A Reverse fault is happens when tectonic forces cause compression that PUSHES rocks together. Normal fault happens when tectonic forces cause tension that PULLS rocks apart.Normal fault is when the hanging block moves down relative to foot block wall where as the reverse fault is formed when the hanging block wall moves up relative to the foot block walls a result of tension and compression force respectively
What characteristics of a fault tell you whether it is a normal fault or a reverse fault?
A reverse fault is in a zone of compressional faulting, rocks in the hanging wall are pushed up relative to rocks in the footwall. A normal fault is in a zone of tensional faulting, rocks in the hanging wall drop down relative to those in a footwall forming a normal fault.
When a hanging wall moves up to the footwall it is a?
reverse fault. but that is when the foot wall moves down, the hanging wall moves up. in a strike-slip fault, they slide past each other, the foot wall and hanging wall are not there because it has to be like this to be a reverse or normal fault: hanging wall ----------foot wall ----------- in this diagram, the foot wall has moved down making the hanging wall move up to form a reverse fault. remember this on tests: the hanging wall is always above the fault line: /hanging wall above foot wall below / /
What are hanging walls that moves down?
In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall.
How are normal and reverse faults differ?
Normal faults are where the hanging wall drops in relation to the foot wall where as with the reverse fault the hanging wall is pushed higher over the foot wall.
What does reverse fault produce?
The hanging wall moves up relative to the foot wall. These happen when tectonic forces push rocks together. It is caused by compression.
When compression causes a hanging wall to move over a foot wall it is what kind of fault?
Reverse
What is a fault that is formed when compression causes the hanging wall to move over the foot wall is a?
This is called a reverse or thrust fault.
What is a reverse fault type of earthquake?
its when the hanging and foot wall push together and the hanging wall goes upward a normal fault is the other way around when the walls are pulled apart and the hanging wall goes down Reverse-Convergent Normal- Divergent
What are the faults?
There are 3 main types of faults 1. Normal 2. Strike slip 3. Reverse(Thrust) In a normal fault the foot wall stays in place while the hanging wall moves DOWNWARDS In a strike slip the tectonic plate(s) slide past each other horizontally In a reverse fault, the hanging wall gets pushed UPWARDS over the foot wall (The pictures are in the reverse order)
Which fault occurs when the hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall?
Actually the first one is right! In my science book its clearly says :normal fault, the fault is at an angle so one block of rock lies above the fault while the other fault lies below the fault. When movement occurs along a normal fault, the hanging wall slips downward. sorry Smallvillegirl... SO THE ANSWER IS NORMAL FAULTSActually, that's wrong. I have the same crossword puzzle whoever answered the question, and it was assigned for homework, and if number 6 across is shearing, number 5 down would have to be reverse. It is reverse fault.=SmallvilleGrl=Old Answer:The answer to this question is easy! Unless you don't know your Earth Science of course! There are three different types of faults:Normal Faults, Reverse Faults, and Strike-slip Faults.A strike-slip fault(or a latteral fault) moves in opposition of each other.A reverse fault is when the hanging wall moves upward caused by compression.A normal fault is when the hanging wall moves downward caused by tension.So there you have it! The answer to your question is obviously a NORMAL FAULT!!!!!If you need any more answers' about Earth Science post some more questions and I'll answer them for ya!!!!!sincerely,~Anonymous~
