That causes earthquakes
These will form reverse or thrust faults.
Strike slip faults display horizontal or "sideways" deformation.
Folds are the when the rock layers bend. Faults are breaks in the rock layers. Folds are called anticlines and synclines. Faults are called reverse faults, normal faults, or strike-slip faults.
In most cases the plates along the boundary will shift. How they shift depends on the kind of plate movement that is ocurring. In many cases the earthquake is not directly on the plate boundary, but is rather triggered by one of the many smaller faults created by the stresses found near these boundaries.
OK!over 99 active faults!
The majority of faults occur in the plate boundaries.
Most Faults Occur Where The Earths Crust Is Extended
because tectonic plates actively move and shift along faults
earthquakes
Because the earth's plates shift
Normal Faults, (Rifting).
Normal faults.
Within or adjacent to faults.
reverse faults
what does the energy come out as when a shift occurs in the earths crust called
vertical... i think
Earthquakes.
