What types of faults formed in compressional stress?
reverse fault
How do reverse faults move?
reverse faults move from compression when the hanging wall moves up
What type of stress faults produces reverse faults?
compression
Compare normal faults to reverse faults?
Normal is always on the ocean border and reverse is always not in an ocean border
What is the main direction of stress on blocks of rock at normql faults reverse faults and strike-slip faults?
The main direction of the stress on blocks of rock at normal faults, reverse faults and the strike slip faults usually happens at the weak areas.
Normal and reverse faults are characterized mainly by?
dip-slip faults
What Types of landforms made by reverse faults?
Landforms created at reverse faults include mountain ranges and volcanoes. Reverse faults occur at convergent boundaries and the type of convergent boundary determines the landform created.
What boundary do reverse faults form at?
the best answer is reverse boundary
Two types of faults can result in mountains which are they?
The two types of faults that can result in mountains are reverse faults and normal faults.
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.
Are normal and reverse faults caused by compression?
Reverse failts are caused by compression. Normal faults however are formed by tension.
What type of faults are associated with fault-block mountains?
Yes reverse faults create mountains. this happens by 2 plates collide.
