What else can I help you with?
The place under the ground where the earthquake originates?
That is a fault line.
Are faults caused by tension?
faults are caused by the plates under neath earth crashing together and/or parting
What is created where one plate move under another?
A volcano is most often formed whon one tectonic plate moves under another
Why are some places more common for earthquakes?
Because there are different sizes of fault lines.
What are some acrobatic Kung Fu Moves?
There are no tricks in karate. It is hard work and practice under a knowledgeable instructor.
What kind of fault moves because it is under tension?
A normal fault moves because it is under tension. In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to the pulling apart of the Earth's crust, creating space and tension that cause the fault to move.
What fault moves because it is under tension.?
normal
What type of fault moves because it is under tension?
A normal fault moves because of tension. In this type of fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to the stretching and pulling apart of the Earth's crust.
Which type of fault is under tension?
Normal Thrust
What type of fault move because its under tension?
Normal faults
Type of fault that may form when rocks are pulled apart due to tension?
Rocks being pulled apart are under tension. This is found at divergent plate boundaries. It is a tension fault.
What kind of fault moves because it is under compression?
A reverse fault moves because it is under compression. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compressional forces in the Earth's crust. This type of fault is associated with convergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates collide.
A what fault moves because it is under compression?
A reverse fault moves because it is under compression. The dip of a reverse fault is relatively steep, greater than 45-degrees.
What does a tension fault do?
A tension fault occurs when there is stretching or pulling apart of the Earth's crust, which can lead to earthquakes as the rock breaks under the stress. This type of fault is associated with tectonic plate movements and occurs along divergent plate boundaries.
Which type if fault is under compression?
A reverse fault is under compression. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compression forces in the Earth's crust. This type of fault is common in areas with convergent tectonic plate boundaries.
Can tension cause the formation of fault-block mountains and valleys?
Yes, tension can cause fault-block mountains and valleys to form. In areas where the Earth's crust is under tension, blocks of rock are pulled apart, resulting in one block moving up and the other moving down along normal faults. Over time, this movement can lead to the formation of fault-block mountains and valleys.
Are straws stronger under tension or compression?
Straws are typically stronger under tension, which means they are better at withstanding a pulling force rather than a pushing force. This is because the material of the straw is more likely to deform or buckle under compression rather than stretch or break under tension.
