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
Why are some places more common for earthquakes?
Because there are different sizes of fault lines.
What is created where one plate move under another?
A volcano is most often formed whon one tectonic plate moves under another
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.
What type of fault in under tension?
A fault that is under tension is typically a normal fault. In a normal fault, the rock above the fault plane moves downward relative to the rock below, primarily due to extensional forces that pull the crust apart. This type of faulting is common in areas experiencing tectonic stretching, such as divergent boundaries or continental rift zones. The tension creates a landscape characterized by basins and elongated ridges.
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.
Which fault moves because it and under pressure?
The fault that moves due to pressure and stress is called a "strike-slip fault." In this type of fault, two blocks of the Earth's crust slide past each other horizontally. The movement occurs as a result of tectonic forces, which cause stress to build up until it is released as an earthquake. The pressure can come from tectonic plate interactions, such as shearing forces along plate boundaries.
