Why folding and faulting is one of the main causes behind earthquakes?
earthquakes often occur near fold mountains because fold mountains are formed on the earth's fault lines ( invisble lines in the earth's crust) and earthquakes happen when two fault lines crash together.
Where can a normal fault occur?
Fault line between the plates
Difference between normal fault and reverse fault?
The movement of the Hanging wall in the normal fault downward with the gravity whereas in the Reverse fault the hanging wall moved upward against the gravity
What fault type is most common in San Andreas fault system?
It's a transform boundary between two plates. The resultant fault of a transform boundary.
What is the differential between internal fault and external fault in transformer differential protection?
Internal Fault means, fault due to winding, insulation, core etc which are inner side of transformer. External fault means, Fault due to atmosphere Condition where transformer is placed moisture,dust, etc
What is the difference between a fault and a fold?
a fault is a large crack in the earth. a fold is when the ground gets bent.
What are the differences between young fold mountains and old fold mountains?
young fold mountains are like Himalayas, the Alps and man other.
What do rock layers that break but do not move form?
A Fold (anticline or syncline) - but it is not a fault. A geological Fault is a break in the rock, with the rock on one side moved relative to that on the other..
A fold in a rock that bends downward?
That type of fault is known as Synclinal fault.
What is the difference between folded mountains and volcanic mountains and fault block mountains?
volcanic mountains can increase in size but fold mountain cant
What is the difference between a fold and a fault?
Folds and faults are both formed from compression on opposite sides due to tectonic movement of the earth's crust. However, in a fold, the crust does not break, it simply is deformed in a curved pattern. In a fault, the rocks in the crust actually shatter, and movement is seen along a fault line, wheby rocks are displaced relative to each other.
Are Brittle rocks are more likely to fold then fault?
Brittle rocks are more likely to fault than fold because they are more prone to breaking and fracturing under stress. Folding is more common in ductile rocks that can deform and bend without breaking.
The bending and buckling of rocks under great force produces a fold a fault a rift a epicenter?
The bending and buckling of rocks under great force produces a fold.
How fold and fault mountains are formed?
Fold mountains are formed when tectonic plates collide, causing compression and the folding of rock layers. Fault mountains are created by the movement along fault lines, where one side of the fault is pushed up relative to the other. Both types of mountains result from the Earth's tectonic activity.
What are the four kind of mountains?
They are the fold mountain, the fault mountain, the dome mountain, and the volcanic mountain.
Is mount kosciuszko a fold or fault mountain?
Mount Kosciuszko is a fold mountain. It was formed through the collision of tectonic plates, where the Earth's crust was pushed upwards to create the mountain. Fault mountains are formed due to the movement along faults in the Earth's crust.
What is the difference between plunging and non plunging folds?
fold with inclined fold avis is called plunging fold,
