What fault causes rocks to become twisted and strained when they snag each other?
A strike slip fault
When friction prevents the rocks on either side of a fault from moving past each other the fault is?
Elastic
What fault is it where rocks on either side of the fault move sideways past each other?
Conservative
What kind of mountains form from vertical fault movement?
Block mountains form when a fault line causes rocks to move past each other. These are also called fault mountains.
What is the name of the fault where the rocks on either side move past each other during an earthquake?

What force causes rocks on either side of fault to slide past each other?
Friction This movement is also known as Transform plat boundary Movement
What force causes a revers fault?
At a reverse fault, compression forces pushes on rocks from opposite directions.
Where do earthquakes occur commonly?
Along fault lines. Major fault lines occur where the tectonic plates meet each other. The plates will either rub against each other or one will force the other underneath it, which commonly causes earthquakes.
What causes electrically charged objects either to attract or repl one another?
An electric force causes electrically charged objects either to attract or to repel each other :)
What fault causes rocks to become twisted and strained when they snag each other?
A strike slip fault
How does friction affect forward motion?
Friction is when two objects touch each other, either smooth or rough friction causes the object to slow down. Also an unbalanced force is when the net force isn't 0 which causes a object to move and cause friction other than a balanced force is when the net force is 0.
What makes a fault different from other kinds of fractures in rocks?
Rocks on either side of a fault move along the surface of the fault.
When friction prevents the rocks on either side of a fault from moving past each other the fault is?
Elastic
What fault is it where rocks on either side of the fault move sideways past each other?
Conservative
What type of fault occur when compression force push one side of the fault upward and the other side downward?
thrust A+
What forms a lateral fault?
A lateral fault is when Shearing causes rock blocks to slide horizontally past each other.
Does every force causes acceleration?
Every force causes acceleration, if it's not opposed and canceled by other forces.
