When tectonic plates collide folds and faults can become?
Mountain Ranges
What type of faults are associated with fault-block mountains?
Yes reverse faults create mountains. this happens by 2 plates collide.
How faults are made?
Faults are created when tectonic plates are stretching or compressing. There are two types of faults which are normal and reverse faults.
How are stress and faults related in earthquakes?
Stress and faults are both caused by tectonic plates.
Could a normal fault cause a land mass to break apart?
Faults do not cause continents and such to split apart. Faults are an effect of plate tectonics, just like earthquakes are an effect of faults moving. Land masses collide or break apart due to plate tectonics. Because tectonic forces place strain on s certain section of the earths crust, faults form and move from time to time to relieve the pressure.

What is created from an earthquake?
Mountains, hills, faults, ditch, and volcano.

Name and describe the type of tectonic stress that forms fault - block mountains?
Tectonic stress forms faults and blocks mountains.
How faults generates earthquake?
All the world is 'floating' as it were on a number of so-called tectonic plates that very slowly move and regularly collide. The lines where they border each other we call 'faults'. When they do collide, one plate slides underneath or alongside the other. That is not a gradual process: the other plate does not yield easily so enormous pressure first builds up, and then - when the pressure has become irresistible - the plate moves forward with a shock. That's in simple terms when you get an earthquake.
What causes natural faults?
Tectonic plates
How are stress and faults related in earthquakes?
Stress and faults are both caused by tectonic plates.
What makes faults move?
Faults themselves don't move; they're cracks in between tectonic plates which do the moving. The plates move due to slow-moving convection currents underneath. It's basically slowly circulating magma that slowly pushes the plates along. As plates slide and collide with each other, they change the shape and position of the faults in between.
Why are faults sometimes referred to as active boundaries?
because tectonic plates actively move and shift along faults
