faulting
Folding and faulting in mountains occurs because of the movement of lithospheric plates as described in the theory of plate tectonics. Continent to continent collision compresses the crust and its sedimentary cover rocks, displacing and distorting them upwards (folding) and fracturing them (faulting). Folding and faulting can also occur in oceanic crust-continental crust collisions, in areas above subduction zones.
Divergent faulting. That is to say the two oceanic crust are moving apart from each other.
Mountains
to know how the earth function
there is faulting
What happens during faulting is that there is some kind of sudden pressure put on a section of crust. This causes it to break or crack, causing a fault.
Faulting
Faulting, erosion, transportation.
The hanging wall block slips downward along the thrust fault
Reverse Faulting.
Faulting occurs in all three of these
Faulting is caused by the stretching or compression of rock by tectonic plate movements
Rocks move past one another (displacement occurs) and frequently this movement is accompanied by the release of energy in the form of an earthquake.
External Geomorphic Process: destructive process that serve to denude or wear down the landscape. Includes weathering, mass wasting and erosion. Internal Geomorphic Process: process originating below the surface; include volcanism, folding, and faulting.
