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.
Which type of fault cause a fault-block mountain to form?
A normal fault causes a fault-block mountain to form. In a normal fault, one block of rock moves downward relative to the other, creating a step-like feature. Over time, repeated movements along the fault can uplift and deform the crust, leading to the formation of fault-block mountains.
What type of fault may form when rocks are pulled apart?
A normal fault may form when rocks are pulled apart. In a normal fault, the hanging wall drops down relative to the footwall due to tensional forces pulling the rocks apart.
Which half of a normal fault would you expect to form the floor of a valley?
The hanging wall of a normal fault would be expected to form the floor of a valley.
What kind of fault forms when rock is pulled apart?
A normal fault would form.
How does a normal fault change the surface?
normal faults cause mountains to form
What kind of land form is produced by a normal fault?
A Mountion
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.
When the rock above the fault surface moves down relative to the rock below the fault surface what kind of faults form?
This is described as a normal fault.
What kind of rock forms when rock is pulled apart?
A normal fault would form.
What land between two normal faults move upward to form?
Normal Faultin a normal fault, the hanging wall slips down relative to the footwallfootwall- the rock that lies belowhanging wall- the block of rock that lies abovenormal fault- tension in Earth's crust pulls rock apart which causes normal fault2. The Land Between Two Normal Faults Moves Upward To Form What?is a Fault - Block Mountain.
What caused the L'Aquila Earthquake?
The L'Aquila Earthquake in 2009 was caused by the movement of the African Plate converging with the Eurasian Plate along a fault line in the central Apennine Mountains. The stress built up along the fault over time until it was released in the form of the earthquake. Some scientists believe that the seismic activity may have been influenced by the extraction of groundwater in the region, but this is still a matter of debate.
