Shearing creates what types of faults?
In geology, shearing occurs when rocks slide past each other horizontally in opposite directions. The kind of fault created by shearing is called a strike-slip fault.
Kind of boundary when two plates slide past each other?
Transform fault or sliding boundary
What is a fault the science kind?
crack in earths crust where two plates are sliding past each other
What kind of rock cuts all other rocks?
Diamonds.
Which kind of rocks are produced from broken down bits of other kinds of rock?
Clastic sedimentary rocks.
What kind of fault makes rocks move past each other?
Transform fault
What kind of mountains form from vertical fault movement?
Block mountains form when a fault line causes rocks to move past each other. These are also called fault mountains.
What kind of fault are rocks forced up and over the rocks below?
Reverse fault
Tension pulls rocks apart and creates this kind of fault?
This is known as a normal fault.
Shearing creates what types of faults?
In geology, shearing occurs when rocks slide past each other horizontally in opposite directions. The kind of fault created by shearing is called a strike-slip fault.
What occurs when rocks above the fault surface move downward in relation to rocks below the fault surface?
This kind of fault is called a normal fault and is usually a sign of crustal extension.
What kind of fault is it when plates slide past each other?
It is a transform boundary.
If rocks on opposite sides of a fault move in opposite directions or in the same direction at different rates what kind of fault exists?
strike slip fault
Kind of boundary when two plates slide past each other?
Transform fault or sliding boundary
What is a fault the science kind?
crack in earths crust where two plates are sliding past each other
What kind of fault occurs when rocks on opposite sides move parallel to one another?
strike-slip faults.
Does shearing forces push rocks from different but not opposite directions?
this kind of fault occurs at a transform plate boundaries
