In what direction do rocks above anormal fault surface moves?
In a reverse fault, compression (plates crashing together) causes the hanging wall to move up. In a normal fault, tension ( plates pulling apart) causes the footwall to push up.
When a fault is not vertical a hanging wall and what are formed?
a reverse fault
A what fault moves because it is under compression?
A reverse fault moves because it is under compression. The dip of a reverse fault is relatively steep, greater than 45-degrees.
What force causes a revers fault?
At a reverse fault, compression forces pushes on rocks from opposite directions.
What type of fault causes the land to move downward?
In a normal fault the hanging wall moves downward. With this type of fault, the hanging wall also shifts horizontally away from the fault line.
When compression causes a hanging wall to move over a foot wall it is what kind of fault?
Reverse
In what direction do rocks above anormal fault surface moves?
In a reverse fault, compression (plates crashing together) causes the hanging wall to move up. In a normal fault, tension ( plates pulling apart) causes the footwall to push up.
What fault formed as a result of horizontal compression?
normal fault
When a fault is not vertical a hanging wall and a what is formed?
a reverse fault
When a fault is not vertical a hanging wall and what are formed?
a reverse fault
When a fault is not vertical hanging wall and a are formed?
a reverse fault
What causes compression?
b:normal fault
A what fault moves because it is under compression?
A reverse fault moves because it is under compression. The dip of a reverse fault is relatively steep, greater than 45-degrees.
What is the difference between a normal fault and reverse fault?
A Reverse fault is happens when tectonic forces cause compression that PUSHES rocks together. Normal fault happens when tectonic forces cause tension that PULLS rocks apart.Normal fault is when the hanging block moves down relative to foot block wall where as the reverse fault is formed when the hanging block wall moves up relative to the foot block walls a result of tension and compression force respectively
In a reverse fault where does the hanging wall move relative of the foot wall?
thrust
What stress causes a fault?
In a reverse fault the maximum principal stress is horizontal, compression causes reverse (thrust) faults.
What force causes a revers fault?
At a reverse fault, compression forces pushes on rocks from opposite directions.
