What else can I help you with?
Does the part of a normal fault that lies on top is called a reverse wall?
No, the part of a normal fault that lies on top is called the hanging wall. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall is thrust over the footwall, which is the opposite of what occurs in a normal fault.
What fault is made when compression pushes rocks together?
When compression pushes rocks together, faults form when the stress exceeds the strength of the rocks, causing them to break and push against each other. These fault zones can be areas of high seismic activity as the rocks continue to be pushed and undergo deformation.
The rocks above a what fault are forced up and over below the fault?
A reverse fault is formed here
At a reverse fault what force pushes on rocks from opposite directions?
In a reverse fault, compressional forces push rocks from opposite directions, causing the rocks to move vertically along the fault plane. The hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to this compressional force.
What force causes a revers fault?
A reverse fault is caused by compressional forces in the Earth's crust, where rocks are pushed together, causing the overlying rock to move up and over the underlying rock along the fault plane. This results in a reverse fault where the hanging wall moves vertically upward in relation to the footwall.
What fault occurs at a convergent boundary.?
A reverse fault
Where rocks on opposite sides of a fault move in opposite directions or in the same directions rates?
When rocks on opposite sides of a fault move in opposite directions, it is called a strike-slip fault. When they move in the same direction, it is called a normal or reverse fault, depending on the type of stress causing the movement. The rate of movement can vary from slow creep to sudden jolts during an earthquake.
By what type of fault were the sierra mountains formed?
Normal fault, i believe is true.
What is a fault that is formed when compression causes the hanging wall to move over the foot wall is a?
This is called a reverse or thrust fault.
What are the three faults in scienceNomal Fault Reverse fault and?
normal reverse strike-slip
The hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall in a?
Reverse Fault
Name three different kinds of faults?
three kinds of faults are normal fault, reverse fault, and strike-slip fault.
