What is active and inactive faults?
Active faults can generate earthquakes and represent sources of seismic energy. Inactive faults can no longer generate earthquakes but did so in the past. +++ They can, but really the earthquake is the effect of the movement on the fault, so not the defining mechanism. ' An active fault is one still moving (albeit usually in small, irregular steps over millions of years); an inactive fault is stable. If a new phase of tectonic stresses arrive, an inactive fault can be 're-activated', in many cases with the movement in the opposite direction. A fault is a fracture with displacement, and that movement is of the rock on one side of the fault-plane across the other.

What stress is a normal fault?
They have the same type of force on each fault and the tension is released Whenever the vertical stress (which mostly is because of gravity) is more than horizontal stresses, normal faults can be created or activated.
Is the Owens Valley a reverse fault?
The Owens Valley is NOT a reverse fault. This valley is a normal fault.
What is a fault record?
fault records gives complete information about a fault,i. fault current magnitude,type of fault,fault phase details,etc.with time stamping.
What is surface of a break in a section of rocks?
This could be a beading plane, a plane of cleavage or schistosity, or a fault plane.
What is the difference between a foot-wall fault and the hanging wall fault?
Take the fault as an inclined plane with the earths surface as the horizontal plane.The foot wall side of the fault is always located to the side where the plane of the fault and the horizontal forms an acute angle.The hanging wall side of the fault is always located to the side of the fault where the plane of the fault and the horizontal makes an obtuse angle.The terminology takes no regard to the direction of motion of the blocks either side of the fault. Thus for a dipping fault, the Hanging Wall is the block positioned over the fault and the Foot Wall is the block positioned under it.
When the rock above a fault plane moves up ward relative to the rock below a fault has occurred?
reverse fault
What is a block of rock that lies below the plane of a fault?
Foot wall
What happens when the pressure snaps the rock?
A "fault plane is created, rock layers move relative to one another (rock can melt in the fault plane forming Pseudotachylyte or Mylonite) and energy is released as an earthquake.
What did everyone say to after the bumpy airplane landing?
it's not the plane's fault it's not
What is an listric fault?
A listric fault is a fault along which a plane is curved. It is caused by a normal separation and in some cases the reverse separation. The curve is concave at the top but it is curved downward in a flattening manner.
What is a fault that Brian Robeson has in The River?
Sending back all the gear on the plane, that was a BIG one
What did everyone say after the bumpy airplane landings?
(109) It's not the plane's fault and it's not (110) the pilots fault so it's probably the asphalt
What is a normal fault zone?
In many cases a fault does not consist of a single crack but of a series of cracks in the rock that all form close to the same plane. A normal fault is a fault tat forms as a result of two blocks of rock being pulled away from one another, with one block sliding down the fault.
The dip of a unit represents what?
The dip of a unit represents the angle at which the bed inclines from the horizontal. In dip-slip faults, the fault blocks move up and down, parallel to the dip of the fault plane.
What fault has the hanging wall moving up to the foot wall?
Answer : Normal Fault Explanation : Normal fault is the cliche kinds of fault.It forms when rock above an inclined fracture plane moves downward, sliding along the rock on the other side of the fracture.
