Three types of faults?
The normal fault, the thrust fault, the transcurrent fault , and the reverse fault.
What kind of faults would you expect to find in the mid Atlantic Ridge?
Transform and normal faults form along mid-ocean ridges such as the Mid-Atlantic ridge.
What are the three types of fault lines?
There are three types of fault lines in the crust. There are divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries.
What happens at a normal fault?
A fault that forms at a divergent boundary
Do normal faults result in crustal shortening?
Normal faults thin and extend the earth's crust. Reverse faults cause crustal shortening and thickening.
What type of boundary does normal fault?
divergent boundarys
What are 6 facts about a normal fault?
Normal faults have a hanging wall and footwall Normal Faults are common at mid-ocean ridges Normal Faults occur where the crust is being pulled apart at the divergent plate boudary. Sorry i only have 3 facts, but I anyone with the question
Which fault occurs at divergent boundary?
Normal Faults, (Rifting).
Which features involve tension?
divergent boundaries, normal faults-apex
A zone of shallow earthquakes along normal faults is typical of?
Divergent plate boundaries.
What kind of fault would you expect to find at a divergent plate margin?
Divergent plate boundaries are moving apart so you would expect normal faults to form. Where these have significance on a regional scale they are known as detachment faults. It is also common to find transform faults running at right angles to divergent boundaries that cause offsets in the boundary along its length. Please see the related links for more information.
What are the three types of plate motion and the faults that are characteristic of each motion?
convergent plates produce thrust faults divergent plates form normal faults transform plates form strike/slip faults
Three types of faults?
The normal fault, the thrust fault, the transcurrent fault , and the reverse fault.
What kind of faults would you expect to find in the mid Atlantic Ridge?
Transform and normal faults form along mid-ocean ridges such as the Mid-Atlantic ridge.
What are the three types of faults and what type of plate boundary are they associated with?
Convergent - reverse Divergent-Normal Transform-Skrik'n' Slip
What type of plate boundary would you find a fault line?
Normal faults are mostly on Divergent plate boundaries. where two lithospheric plates move away from eachother. means that tensile forces there that act in opposite direction. Mian Amir Javed Pakistan Shani1_pak@hotmail.com
