Differences between a fault and a fold?
Folds are the when the rock layers bend. Faults are breaks in the rock layers. Folds are called anticlines and synclines. Faults are called reverse faults, normal faults, or strike-slip faults.
How many faults does the US have?

What feature allows magma to move through the crust?

What group of minerals form along faults?

Are faults caused by tension?
faults are caused by the plates under neath earth crashing together and/or parting
What kind of faults cause shearing?
Strike-slip faults cause shearing
What kind fault lines are there?
There are 6 types of fault lines. Strike-slip faults, dip-slip faults, oblique- slip faults, listric faults, ring faults, and synthetic and antithetic faults.
What causes reverse faults?
the answer is that compression is the kind of stress.
What kind of fault occurs at divergentplate boundaries?

What kind of faults can an auto scanner detect?
Faults that an auto scanner detect are faulty brakes, tire pressure problems, and air bag faults. They are meant as an onboard diagnostic system for automobiles.

Are the three types of faults normal faults backward faults and slip faults?
No. Your terminology is close but not quite right. The three main types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Strike-slip faults may also be called transform faults.
What type of fault causes earthquakes?
Earthquakes are typically caused by movement along a fault line, which is a fracture in the Earth's crust where rocks have shifted position relative to each other. The three main types of faults that can cause earthquakes are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults.
A graben is bounded by what kind of fault?
A graben is bounded by normal faults, where the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall. This results in the central block of land sinking between the two bounding faults, forming a trough-like depression in the Earth's crust.
