Normal faults are caused by tension in the movement of rocks
No, Because Reverse fault is caused by compression and a normal fault is caused by tension.
They are caused primarily by shear stress.
A2. In a beam supported at both its ends the lower half of the beam will be under tension, and the upper half of the beam will be under compression.
Reverse faults move due to being under pressure.
normal
faults are caused by the plates under neath earth crashing together and/or parting
Normal faults
Normal faults
Normal faults are caused by tension in the movement of rocks
Reverse failts are caused by compression. Normal faults however are formed by tension.
divergent boundaries, normal faults-apex
Normal faults are the result of tensile stresses.
Tension causes normal faults, which are common in Africa. Many scientists think that tension caused the formation of the Great Rift Valley.
No, Because Reverse fault is caused by compression and a normal fault is caused by tension.
yes tension pulls the rocks apart which produces expanding faultscompression pushes the rocks together which produces crushing faultsshear slides the rocks past each other which produces slipping faults
