Shear Stress
Stress forms a fault not the other way round.
Normal fault forms tension stress. It is a stress state wherein a body of material is being stretched or expanded.
In a reverse fault the maximum principal stress is horizontal, compression causes reverse (thrust) faults.
Fault block mountains are formed when large blocks of Earth's crust move up or down along faults. The stress that produces fault block mountains typically comes from the tectonic forces pushing or pulling on the Earth's crust, causing the blocks to move vertically relative to each other. This movement can create a tilted or lifted landscape with steep scarps and flat valleys.
Actually, it was a volcanic hotspot in the middle of the Pacific Plate that formed the island chain.
Tensional stress, which results from the pulling apart of the Earth's crust, causes fault block mountains to form. This stress leads to the extension and fracturing of the crust, resulting in the blocks of crust moving up or down along faults to create a mountain range.
The San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip fault, where the movement occurs horizontally along the fault line. It is located in California and is formed by the movement between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.
It's a fault-block mountains :)
it is a normal fault.
A normal
the Hayward fault is a "transform" fault. :)
