What else can I help you with?
What is a fault that is formed when compression causes the hanging wall to move over the foot wall is a?
This is called a reverse or thrust fault.
In Which direction does a reverse fault cause the land to move?
Up
What force causes a revers fault?
A reverse fault is caused by compressional forces in the Earth's crust, where rocks are pushed together, causing the overlying rock to move up and over the underlying rock along the fault plane. This results in a reverse fault where the hanging wall moves vertically upward in relation to the footwall.
What type of fault forms when a hanging wall moves upward?
A reverse fault forms when a hanging wall moves upward due to compressional forces. This type of fault occurs in areas where the crust is being pushed together, causing the hanging wall to move up and the footwall to move down.
What is the opposite of a reverse fault?
A normal fault is the opposite of a reverse fault.
The rocks above a what fault are forced up and over below the fault?
A reverse fault is formed here
Is San Andreas fault a reverse fault?
The San Andreas fault is a strike-slip fault, where two tectonic plates move horizontally past each other. It is not a reverse fault, where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compression.
How can compression forces make rocks move along a reverse fault?
Trust faults typically have low dip angles. A high-angle thrust fault is called a reverse fault. A reverse fault occurs primarily across lithological units where as a thrust usually occurs within or at a low angle to lithological units.
How compression forces make rockes move along a reverse fault?
Trust faults typically have low dip angles. A high-angle thrust fault is called a reverse fault. A reverse fault occurs primarily across lithological units where as a thrust usually occurs within or at a low angle to lithological units.
In a reverse fault where does the hanging wall move relative of the foot wall?
thrust
What fault occurs at a convergent boundary.?
A reverse fault
When compression causes a hanging wall to move over a foot wall it is what kind of fault?
Reverse
