What else can I help you with?
Are normal and reverse faults caused by compression?
Reverse failts are caused by compression. Normal faults however are formed by tension.
Do transform faults cause tsunami?
usually an earthquak caused by shifting of the rocks towards the center of the earth
How are faults and earthquakes are related?
The are both related to the movement of tectonic plates.
Why do volcanoes support the theory of plate tectonics?
Volcanoes are caused by the magma from the Earth's mantle; this magma is released through faults in the Earth's tectonic plates.
What causes earquake?
dunno what happends in your ear, but earthquakes is caused by rupture of geological faults, but also by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments.
Are normal and reverse faults caused by compression?
Reverse failts are caused by compression. Normal faults however are formed by tension.
Are faults caused by tension or compression?
yes tension pulls the rocks apart which produces expanding faultscompression pushes the rocks together which produces crushing faultsshear slides the rocks past each other which produces slipping faults
What is the name of the fault caused from tension?
Tension causes normal faults, which are common in Africa. Many scientists think that tension caused the formation of the Great Rift Valley.
Are both normal and reverse faults caused by tension?
Normal faults are caused by tensional forces pulling rocks apart, leading to the hanging wall moving down relative to the footwall. Reverse faults are caused by compressional forces pushing rocks together, leading to the hanging wall moving up relative to the footwall.
Are strike-slip faults caused by tension forces?
No, strike-slip faults are typically caused by horizontal shearing forces where blocks of the Earth's crust move past each other horizontally. Tension forces usually manifest in normal faults where blocks of the crust move away from each other, causing extension.
What are normal faults caused by?
Normal faults are caused by tensional stress, which occurs when the Earth's crust is being pulled apart. This causes the hanging wall to move downward relative to the footwall, resulting in the formation of a normal fault.
What are faults caused by?
earthquakes
What fault moves because it is under tension.?
normal
What type of fault move because its under tension?
Normal faults
How are stress and faults related in earthquakes?
Stress and faults are both caused by tectonic plates.
Strike-slip faults are caused by?
shear:)
What are strike -slip faults caused by?
Landslide
