What type of fault is caused by shear faults?
A strike slip fault.
What type of fault is caused by shearing San Andres fault in California?
A transverse fault
What type of fault has shearing?
A strike-slip fault
What type of fault results from horizontal shearing between plates?
Horizontal shearing at tectonic plate boundaries results in a special type of strike slip fault known as a transform fault.
What type of force caused normal fault to form?
tensional forces
What type of stress force that produces a strike-slip fault is?
shearing
What type of fault is produced from shearing?
The deformation of a material so that its layers move laterally over each other. In geology, shearing bends, twists, and draws out rocks along a fault or thrust plane. Such shearing is sometimes accompanied by shattering or crushing of the rock near the fault. A shearing force acts parallel to a plane rather than perpendicularly. Shear stress is the force or forces applied tangentially to the surface of a body and causing bending, twisting, or drawing out of that body.
What type of fault can result from horizontal shearing object plates?
strike-slip
Which type of force produces strike-slip fault?
The force that produces a strike slip fault is a shearing force.
What type of FAULT is the result of compression forces?
a reverse fault
What type of fault forms when two rocks slide past each other?
THRUST
What type of stress caused the fault shown in the image?
normal fault
