What kind of stress is formed at a strike slip?
Stress forms a fault not the other way round.
What kind of stress does normal fault form?
Normal fault forms tension stress. It is a stress state wherein a body of material is being stretched or expanded.
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.
What kind of stress that produce on fault block?
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.
Hawaii is on what kind of fault?
Actually, it was a volcanic hotspot in the middle of the Pacific Plate that formed the island chain.
What kind of stress causes fault block mountains?
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.
What kind of fault is the San Andrease fault?
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.
What kind of mountain is formed when tension causes large blocks of crust to drop down?
It's a fault-block mountains :)
What kind of fault is the Owens fault?
it is a normal fault.
What kind of fault is the Hayward fault?
the Hayward fault is a "transform" fault. :)
What kind of fault occurs at the divergent plate boundaries?
A normal
What kind of mountain range is formed when tensions causes large blocks of crust to drop down?
It's a fault-block mountains :)
