Most Faults Occur Where The Earths Crust Is Extended
What else can I help you with?
Where do majority of faults occurs?
The majority of faults occur in the plate boundaries.
When faults shift what occurs?
That causes earthquakes
What often occurs along faults or breaks in earths crust where movement occurs?
earthquakes
What are the types of transmission line faults?
these are the faults that occur in transmission line: 1. line to line fault 2. line to ground fault-this is the most common fault that occurs in tr. line(75%) 3. double line to ground fault 4. triple line to ground (or) 3 phase fault- this is the most serious and dangerous fault that occurs in transmission line.(but rarely occurs)
What type of fault occurs because of compression?
reverse faults
Which fault occurs at divergent boundary?
Normal Faults, (Rifting).
What kind of fault occurs at divergentplate boundaries?
Normal faults.
What type of movement occurs along normal faults?
vertical... i think
What type of faults are mostly commonly formed by compression stresses?
The type of faults most commonly formed by compression stresses are reverse faults and thrust faults. In these faults, the crust is shortened, causing one block of rock to be pushed up over another. This typically occurs in convergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates collide, resulting in significant geological features like mountain ranges. These faults are characterized by a steep dip and can create intense seismic activity.
Where are the midocean ridges offset the most by faults?
At transform faults or transform zones.
What are faults of a car?
In most cases, the faults of a car are usually mechanical in nature.
What are fractures in rocks where movement occurrs?
Fractures in rocks where movement occurs are called faults. These are surfaces along which rocks have broken and moved in response to stress. Faults are commonly found at tectonic plate boundaries and can result in earthquakes when movement happens along them.
