What type of fault produces horst and graben topography?
Normal / extensional faulting creates horst and graben topography.
What stress is a normal fault?
They have the same type of force on each fault and the tension is released Whenever the vertical stress (which mostly is because of gravity) is more than horizontal stresses, normal faults can be created or activated.
What fault is associated with shear stress?
Strike slip faults and transform faults are associated with shear stress.
How is the stress in the southern part of the San Andreas fault system different from the stress in the northern part?
The stress in the southern part of the San Andreas Fault has a lot of collisions due to compression. The stress in the northern part gets separated because of tension, meaning one is causing them to move while the other is producing them.

Which is not an example of potential energy a ball traveling at 10ms a compressed spring or stress along a fault line?
stress along a fault line stress along a fault line
What kind of stress does normal fault form?
Normal fault forms tension stress. It is a stress state wherein a body of material is being stretched or expanded.
What stress causes a fault?
In a reverse fault the maximum principal stress is horizontal, compression causes reverse (thrust) faults.
Break in Earth's rocks caused by stress?
Fault
What type of stress caused the fault shown in the image?
normal fault
What kind of stress is formed in a strike-slip fault?
Shear Stress
What is falting rock?
Faulting is caused by stress in the rock layers, the stress can break and crack the rock causing a fault. There are two types of faults a normal fault and a reverse fault.
What is the type of stress for a reverse fault?
In a reverse fault the maximum principal stress is horizontal, compression causes reverse (thrust) faults.
What type of stress caused the San Andreas fault?
Tectonic shear stress.
What fault would create landforms through shearing stress?
strike slip fault
