What fault is caused by tension forces?
A normal fault.
What is the hanging wall slides downward caused by tension in the crust?
A normal fault
Are both normal and reverse faults caused by tension?
Normal faults are caused by tensional forces pulling rocks apart, leading to the hanging wall moving down relative to the footwall. Reverse faults are caused by compressional forces pushing rocks together, leading to the hanging wall moving up relative to the footwall.
Is a fault block mountain caused by tension or compression?
A fault-block mountain is typically formed by tensional forces where blocks of the Earth's crust move vertically due to normal faults. These mountains result from the crust being pulled apart, leading to the uplift of fault blocks.
What is the name of the Kobe japan fault?
The fault that caused the 1995 Kobe earthquake was the Nojima fault.
Which type of fault is the result of tension and why?
Normal Fault
What kind of fault moves because it is under tension?
A normal fault moves because it is under tension. In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to the pulling apart of the Earth's crust, creating space and tension that cause the fault to move.
Rock above a fault that moves downward?
It moves downward.. the force behind it is tension
Type of fault that may form when rocks are pulled apart due to tension?
Rocks being pulled apart are under tension. This is found at divergent plate boundaries. It is a tension fault.
What is a fault formed due to tension on rocks called?
It is called a normal fault.
What motion causes a normal fault?
reverse .yu welcome
What type of fault is tension associated with hanging wall?
the upper wall of an inclined fault
