What happens to rocks along a strike-slip fault?
The rocks move past each other horizontally.
What happens to rocks along to reverse fault?
The rock gets farther a part from the fault
What happens to rocks along a fault line?
Rocks along a fault line can break and shift due to tectonic forces, causing movements such as sliding past each other or being compressed together. The friction and pressure along the fault line can lead to earthquakes when the accumulated stress is released suddenly. Over time, the rocks along a fault line can also undergo deformation, such as folding and faulting.
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.
What happens to rock along strike slip fault?
The rocks move past each other horizontally.
Is this sentence correct As rocks move past each other along a fault their rough surfaces catch and permanently halt movement along the fault?
No. They (the rocks) would not be moving past each other if their movement had been permanently halted.
What happens when friction on opposite side of a fault is high?
High friction on opposite sides of a fault can cause stress to build up in the rocks. When the stress exceeds the strength of the rocks, it can result in an earthquake as the rocks suddenly shift along the fault line.
When rocks break they move along the surface called?
When rocks break, they move along the surface in a process known as faulting. This movement can occur due to tectonic forces, causing the rocks to break and move along fractures known as faults.
Is this sentence correct As rocks move past each other along fault their rough surfaces catch and permanently halt movement along the fault?
No. They (the rocks) would not be moving past each other if their movement had been permanently halted.
Is this sentence correct as rocks move past each other along a fault their rough surfaces catch permanently halt movement along the fault?
No. They (the rocks) would not be moving past each other if their movement had been permanently halted.
What happens if rocks shift along a fault line?
they release all their built up energy in the form of shock waves
What is the name of the earth crust along a fault line?
The section of the Earth's crust along a fault line is referred to as the "fault plane." It is the surface along which the rocks on either side have moved relative to each other. The movement can cause earthquakes and other geological activity.
