The rocks move past each other horizontally.
What else can I help you with?
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 happens as rocks move past each other along a fault?
Tension, friction and heat increase.
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.
What happens to rock along strike slip fault?
The rocks move past each other horizontally.
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.
What happens if rocks shift along a fault line?
they release all their built up energy in the form of shock waves
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 is a break or crack along which rocks moved called?
A break or crack along which rocks move is called a fault. Sudden motion along the faults result to earthquakes.
What are fractures in rocks where movement occurrs?
Fractures in rocks where movement occurs are called faults. These are surfaces along which rocks have broken and moved in response to stress. Faults are commonly found at tectonic plate boundaries and can result in earthquakes when movement happens along them.
Another name for a fracture along which rocks move is?
This is known as a fault.
A break in the crust along which rock moves?
This is called a fault.== ==
