What are the movements produced by the three types of faults?
-Normal Faults form when the hanging wall moves down. -Reverse Faults form when the hanging wall moves up. -Strike-Slip Faults have walls that moce sideways, instead of up or down.
What does normal faulting mean?
Normal faults are when you have hanging walls that slide down relative to and below the footwall. Dip-slip faults are normal faults.
What are hanging walls that moves down?
In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall.
What kind of fault has hanging walls that move up?
A fault with hanging walls that move up is called a reverse fault. This type of fault occurs when compressional forces push the rock layers together, causing the hanging wall to be thrust upward relative to the footwall. Reverse faults are commonly associated with convergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates collide.
What are The type of fault when the walls move up?
The type of fault where the walls move up is called a reverse fault. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall, often due to compressional forces in the Earth's crust. This type of faulting is typically associated with mountain-building processes and can lead to significant geological features, such as thrusts and folded rock layers.
What characteristics of a fault tell you whether it is a normal fault or a reverse fault?
A reverse fault is in a zone of compressional faulting, rocks in the hanging wall are pushed up relative to rocks in the footwall. A normal fault is in a zone of tensional faulting, rocks in the hanging wall drop down relative to those in a footwall forming a normal fault.
What does faults mean?
Normal faults are when you have hanging walls that slide down relative to and below the footwall. Dip-slip faults are normal faults.
What types of fault is formed when plates diverge or pull apart?
Tension in Earth's crust pulls rock apart, causing hanging walls. In a normal fault, the fault is at an angle, so one block of rock lies above the fault while the other block lies below the fault. The block of rock that lies above is called the hanging wall. The rock that lies below is called the footwall.

What is the best anchor to use for hanging heavy objects on plaster walls?
The best anchor to use for hanging heavy objects on plaster walls is a toggle bolt.
Can you use drywall anchors in plaster for hanging heavy objects?
Yes, you can use drywall anchors in plaster for hanging heavy objects. Drywall anchors are designed to provide extra support and stability when hanging items on walls, including plaster walls. Be sure to choose anchors that are appropriate for the weight of the object you are hanging to ensure they can support the load.
What forms a glacier moves into a stream valley?
A 'V' shaped valley is formed by streams and water action. A 'U' shaped valley is formed by the gouging out of the valley walls by a glacier. A hanging valley is where side valleys are cut across by the main glacier. Hanging valleys often have waterfalls that fall into the main valley over a cliff.
