The stress that causes strike-slip faults is produced by a shearing force and so is called shear stress.
What else can I help you with?
What stress causes a fault?
In a reverse fault the maximum principal stress is horizontal, compression causes reverse (thrust) faults.
What type of force causes a normal fault to form?
Tensional stress from divergent plate boundaries causes a normal fault to form. This stress pulls rocks apart along a fault line, causing the hanging wall to drop relative to the footwall.
How does stress can change the earth's features?
stress inside the earth causes earthquakes or faults, such as the St. Andres fault
What type of stress causes stretching of the land?
tension (Dip-Slip Normal fault)
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 does a fault have to do with an earthquake?
A fault is a fracture in Earth's crust where rocks have moved in relation to each other. When the accumulated stress along a fault exceeds the strength of the rocks, it causes them to break abruptly, resulting in an earthquake. Stress and energy release along faults are fundamental to earthquake generation.
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 motion causes a normal fault?
reverse .yu welcome
What kind of tectonic stress causes fault-block mountains?
faulting causes large blocks of the Earth's crust to drop down relative to other blocks
What type of fault is created by shear stress?
Shear stress causes Transform faults, in strike-slip zones of conservative boundaries.
What type of stress is caused by the San Andreas fault?
The San Andreas Fault primarily causes shear stress, which occurs when two blocks of the Earth's crust slide past one another horizontally. This lateral motion can lead to significant earthquakes as the accumulated stress is released. The fault is considered a transform boundary, where tectonic plates move side by side, creating tension and friction along the fault line.
Which is not an example of potential energy a ball traveling at 10ms a compressed spring or stress along a fault line?
stress along a fault line stress along a fault line
