Reverse Fault
What rocks above a fault are forced up and over the rocks below the fault?
a reverse fault

Reverse fault
What fault is forced up and over the rocks below the fault?
This a reverse or dip-slip fault.
At a what is rocks above the fault surface forced up and over?
Submersion zone, as described in the theory of plate techtonics.
What Rocks above the fault surface are forced up and over the rocks below the fault surface?
The rocks that are forced up and over the rocks below the fault surface are referred to as "hanging wall" rocks. This occurs in a specific type of fault known as a thrust fault, where compressional forces cause the hanging wall to move upward relative to the footwall, which is the block of rock below the fault surface. This movement can result in significant geological features, such as mountain ranges.
Here rocks above this surface are forced up and over rocks below the surface?
This geological phenomenon is called overthrusting, where older rocks are pushed up and over younger rocks due to tectonic forces. It results in the older rocks being positioned above the younger ones.
Describe the changes that occur in the rock cycle?
In the rock cycle, rocks change into differant types of rocks over time. For example, igneous rocks might break into sediments that form sedimentary rocks.
How are non clastic rocks formed?
Non-clastic rocks are formed through chemical and organic processes. Chemical rocks like limestone are formed when minerals in water precipitate out and accumulate. Organic rocks like coal are formed from the remains of plants and animals that are buried and compacted over time. These processes occur without the transportation and deposition of sediments like in clastic rocks.
What wears down rocks and makes them smoother as time passes?
The process that wears down rocks and makes them smoother over time is called erosion. This can occur through various mechanisms such as wind, water, ice, or the movement of other rocks. The continuous abrasion and breaking down of rock surfaces contribute to their smoothing over time.
What type of rock forms after erosion and deposition occur?
Sedimentary rock forms after erosion and deposition occur. Erosion breaks down existing rocks into sediments that are then transported, deposited, and compacted over time to form sedimentary rocks.
