A Reverse fault is happens when tectonic forces cause compression that PUSHES rocks together. Normal fault happens when tectonic forces cause tension that PULLS rocks apart.
Normal fault is when the hanging block moves down relative to foot block wall where as the reverse fault is formed when the hanging block wall moves up relative to the foot block walls a result of tension and compression force respectively
What else can I help you with?
Difference between normal fault and reverse fault?
The movement of the Hanging wall in the normal fault downward with the gravity whereas in the Reverse fault the hanging wall moved upward against the gravity
What is the opposite of a reverse fault?
A normal fault is the opposite of a reverse fault.
What is the difference between a reverse and normal fault and how does stress relate to the formation of each?
In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compressional stress. This type of fault occurs in convergent plate boundary settings. Conversely, in a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to extensional stress, which is typically associated with divergent plate boundaries. Stress plays a crucial role in determining the type of fault that forms in response to the tectonic forces acting on the rock.
Name three different kinds of faults?
three kinds of faults are normal fault, reverse fault, and strike-slip fault.
Difference between thrust and reverse fault?
There is a slight difference. A thrust fault is a variety of reverse fault with a dip angle of less than 45 degrees.
What are the three faults in scienceNomal Fault Reverse fault and?
normal reverse strike-slip
What are some fault?
normal fault reverse fault slip strike fault
What are the 3 fault's?
normal fault, reverse fault, strike-slip fault,
What characteristics of a fault tell you whether it is a normal fault or a reverse fault?
A reverse fault is in a zone of compressional faulting, rocks in the hanging wall are pushed up relative to rocks in the footwall. A normal fault is in a zone of tensional faulting, rocks in the hanging wall drop down relative to those in a footwall forming a normal fault.
By what type of fault were the sierra mountains formed?
Normal fault, i believe is true.
Is the Hayward fault a normal fault or a reverse fault?
Neither. It is a strike-slip fault.
What are 4 kinds of faults?
The normal fault, the thrust fault, the transcurrent fault , and the reverse fault.
