a compression force would cause a normal fault. i rember by the name compress "press" together
What else can I help you with?
What causes reverse faults?
the answer is that compression is the kind of stress.
What stress causes a fault?
In a reverse fault the maximum principal stress is horizontal, compression causes reverse (thrust) faults.
What type of stress faults produces reverse faults?
compression
What is the type of stress for a reverse fault?
In a reverse fault the maximum principal stress is horizontal, compression causes reverse (thrust) faults.
Are normal and reverse faults caused by compression?
Reverse failts are caused by compression. Normal faults however are formed by tension.
Which type of fault is under compression?
Reverse and thrust faults are both under compressive stress.
How do reverse faults move?
reverse faults move from compression when the hanging wall moves up
What type of stress force produces faults?
compression
What is rock compression?
Rock compression refers to the process in which rocks are subjected to pressure that causes them to decrease in volume. This can occur due to the weight of overlying rocks, tectonic forces, or other geological processes. Rock compression can lead to the formation of structures such as folds and faults in the Earth's crust.
What type of fault occurs because of compression?
reverse faults
What does a compression create after it pushes rocks together?
Reverse faults
What kind of faults result in crustal shortening produced by compression of the Earth's crust?
Crustal shortening due to compression of the Earth's crust primarily results in reverse faults and thrust faults. In these types of faults, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall, leading to the stacking of rock layers and the formation of mountain ranges. This process is often associated with convergent tectonic plate boundaries, where plates collide, causing significant deformation and uplift of the crust.
