Does a hanging wall occur when the fault is at an angle?
Yes! The HANGING WALL is usually associated with / occurs on, the upper face of a near-vertical fault. It is evidenced when a mineral vein which follows a fault has been worked out and then can produce a danger of fall where the rock is fractured
What are the differences between folded mountains and shield volcanoes?
AnswerA Fault-Block mountain is shaped like a block and a Folded Mountain is shaped like a folded piece of paper. Also a difference is that a fault-block mountain is along a fault and a folded Mountain was formed due to its difficulty coming to the earths suface whcih caused to plates to fold
Which type of fault is likely to form in an area where rock layer have been folded?
Folding is usually the result of compressional stress. This may also cause thrust / reverse faults.
Where does viral reproduction occurs?
It occurs in a cell that's been overtaken by a virus.
What is one thing that tells a geologist that rock layers have been disurbed?
If rock layers are not horizontal, then some force must have diturbed them after they were fomed.
If a fault occurs in an area where rock layers have been folded which type of fault is it likely to be?
If a fault occurs in an area where rock layers have been folded, the type of fault it is likely to be is thrust faulting. This type of fault will have the ground on one side of the fault, move up and over adjacent ground.
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 == ==
Whats a Folded mountain?
is a mountain that has been form wHen two tictonic plates hit each other then fold to crate a mountain that is why is folded mountain folded mountains are formed when land is squeezed/compressed. The land buckles and folds, which can be seen in folded layers of rock. The Appellations mountains are very old folded mountains that have been worn down by weathering and erosion.
What type of fault is likely to form in an area where rock layer has been folded?
Probably reverse fault because folding is the result of compressional stres and reverse faults are caused by compression
What page fault in operating system?
a page fault is a hardware or software interrupt,it occurs when an access to a page that has not been brought into main memory takes place.
Which type of fault is likely to form in area where rock layer have been folded?
Folding is usually the result of compressional stress. This may also cause thrust / reverse faults.
What is a folded up mountain?
well a folded up mountain is a mountain that has been folded up. pretty simple come on
Does a hanging wall occur when the fault is at an angle?
Yes! The HANGING WALL is usually associated with / occurs on, the upper face of a near-vertical fault. It is evidenced when a mineral vein which follows a fault has been worked out and then can produce a danger of fall where the rock is fractured
How do you determine the order of rock layers?
The chronological order of rock layers is usually determined by their order in an undisturbed sequence of strata. According to the principle of superposition, the oldest layers would be found at the bottom and the youngest layers at the top. In disturbed rock layers (those that have been folded, uplifted, or generally disrupted by tectonic forces), the determination must be made based on the presence of index fossils, comparison to undisturbed strata or radiometric dating.
What is the name of the break in Earth's crust where movement of rock occurs?
A break in the Earth's crust along which there has been some movement is a fault. A fault is considered a planar fracture.
What is the formula to determine how many sides when a piece of paper is folded in half repeatedly?
If by sides you refer to the number of paper slices you can hold then the formula is this: assuming that when the paper has not been folded, the number of times folded is equal zero then the equation is: 2x, where x is the number of times folded. for example if the paper has been folded four times the number of sides is: 24 = 16
The point along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs?
The epicenter is the point where motion begins on a fault line in the event of an earthquake. This location is seen as the origin of the earthquake itself and can help determine how much damage has been done in different areas.
