What boundary does a normal fault occurs?
According to experts, a normal fault occurs when the Earthâ??s crust begins to pull apart which is known as a divergent plate boundary.
A normal fault occurs mostly at a boundary?
divergent boundary
When tension forces pull rock what occurs?
Normal Fault
Which fault occurs at divergent boundary?
Normal Faults, (Rifting).
What kind of fault occurs at divergentplate boundaries?
Normal faults.
What type of fault usually occurs because tension?
normal
What fault occurs when tectonic plates pull apart from one another and tensional stress is placed on rock layers?
A fault called a normal fault occurs when tectonic plates pull apart and tensional stress causes the rock layers to break and move along the fault line. In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to the extensional forces acting on the rocks.
What occurs when the hanging wall moves relative to the footwall?
A normal fault.
Does the part of a normal fault that lies on top is called a reverse wall?
No, the part of a normal fault that lies on top is called the hanging wall. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall is thrust over the footwall, which is the opposite of what occurs in a normal fault.
What happens along fault beneath Earth's surface when an earthquake occurs?
if your on a fault it will shake and shift ground above
Is true about a hanging wall?
It slips downward when movement occurs along a normal faultIt occurs when the fault is at an angle
What is true about a hanging wall?
It slips downward when movement occurs along a normal faultIt occurs when the fault is at an angle
