The surface of earth is in constant motion because of forces inside the planet. These forces cause sections of earth's surface, called plates, to move.

The rocks above a what fault are forced up and over below the fault?

In a reverse fault where does the hanging wall move relative of the foot wall?
thrust
Fault block mountains are made of?
Fault-block landforms (mountains, hills, ridges, etc.) are formed when large areas of bedrock are widely broken up by faults creating large vertical displacements of continental crust.These mountains are formed by the Earth's crust being stretched and extended by tensional forces. Fault block mountains commonly accompany rifting, another indicator of tensional tectonic forces.
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.
Cliffs formed as a result of faulting are called?
A line of cliffs formed by displacement along a fault is known as a fault scarp.
