What type of stress faults produces reverse faults?
compression
What type of stress force that produces a strike-slip fault is?
shearing
The type of stress force that produces a strike-slip fault is?
The type of stress force that produces a strike-slip fault is transform stress. This stress occurs when two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, causing displacement along a fault line. Strike-slip faults are often associated with transform plate boundaries, such as the San Andreas Fault in California.
What is the Stress force that pulls rock apart?
Tensile stress is the force that pulls rock apart, causing it to break or fracture. This type of stress occurs when rocks are stretched in opposite directions, leading to the formation of cracks or faults in the rock.
What type of stress is most directly associated with transform faults?
Shear Stress.
What is the type of stress associated with normal faults?
extensional
Which type of stress produces most crustal deformation?
Tectonic stress, caused by the movement of Earth's tectonic plates, produces the most significant crustal deformation. This stress results in the formation of features like mountains, faults, and earthquakes as the Earth's crust responds to the forces generated by tectonic plate interactions.
The San Andreas fault to a main type of stress?
Strike-slip Faults
Which type of force produces strike-slip fault?
The force that produces a strike slip fault is a shearing force.
What type of boundary produces shearing stress?
Transform Boundary
What are two type of stress that deform rock?
Two types of stress are compressional and tensional stress. Shear stress also plays a significant role in deformations in the Earth's crust at transform and strike slip faults.
What is a shearing force?
Shear force is a load (pounds, or newtons) in plane of the object which produces shear stress ( pounds per sq inch, or Pascals). Shear force is related to shear stress as STRESS = FORCE/AREA
