What kind of fault moves because it is under compression?
Reverse faults move due to being under pressure.
How does a thrust fault form?
A high-angle fault under compression
What is the word for a tectonic plate going under another causing mountains?
That would be called a Normal Fault. Normal Fault is when a tectonic plate appears to have moved down the fault, and the fault is said to be a normal fault.
Where is the fault line laguna Philippines?
The Laguna fault line runs from near Laguna Lake and under Santa Rosa. All of the Philippines can experience earthquakes because it is located on the Pacific Rim of Fire.
Is imus cavite under fault line?

What kind of fault moves because it is under compression?

How does a fault moves when it is under compression?
forwrd against each other
What kind of fault moves because it is under tension?
A normal fault moves because it is under tension.
What fault moves because it under tension?
normal
What type of fault moves because it is under tension?
Normal faults
What fault moves because it is under tension.?
normal
How does a thrust fault form?
A high-angle fault under compression
Which type of fault is under compression?
Reverse and thrust faults are both under compressive stress.
Is ice good for compression fractures?
Yes, because it will help with the swelling associated with compression fractures and keep that under control.
What type of fault move because its under tension?
Normal faults
Is spaghetti stronger in tension or compression?
Spaghetti is stronger under tension because spaghetti is brittle and therefore a smaller yield point. This is bad for compression because compression requires a large elastic value, which spaghetti doesn't have. Because tension hardly changes spaghetti it makes it stronger than compression.
