If a fault occurs on an area where rock layers have folded what kind of fault will it be?
thrust or reverse fault,
What kind of fault occurs at the divergent plate boundaries?
A normal
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.
When the rock above the fault surface moves down relative to the Rock below the fault surface what kind of fault?
This is described as a normal fault.
What kind of fault is Mt St Helen's on?
A strike slip fault
What kind of force occurs in the San Andreas fault?
transform boundary
What kind of force occurs in San Andreas fault?
transform boundary
If a fault occurs on an area where rock layers have folded what kind of fault will it be?
thrust or reverse fault,
Which kind of fault is a result f a pulling force?
The kind of fault you may be contemplating about is a transform fault which occurs like all earth quakes when the Earth's tectonic plates move as sea currents change there appearance. A transform fault is the force of two surfaces rubbing across each other creating huge earth quakes like the ones of 1906 and 1989 in San Andreas.
What kind of fault occurs at divergentplate boundaries?
Normal faults.
What kind of force does a normal fault have?
A normal one.
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 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
What kind of plate occurs where two plates grind past each other without destroying or producing lithosphere?
transform fault boundary
What kind of plate boundary occurs where two plates grind past each without destroying or producing lithosphere?
transform fault boundary
What kind of fault is the Owens fault?
it is a normal fault.
