What is a region of numerous closely spaced faults called?

A region of numerous closely spaced faults is called a fault zone. These fault zones can vary in size and complexity, with the potential to generate earthquakes due to the movement of the Earth's crust along these faults.


What are the three types of faults and what type of plate boundary are they associated with?

The three types of faults are normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults. Normal faults are associated with divergent plate boundaries, reverse faults with convergent plate boundaries, and strike-slip faults with transform plate boundaries.


What faults are correctly associated with which types of stress?

Normal fault: Associated with tensional stress, where the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall. Reverse fault: Associated with compressional stress, where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall. Strike-slip fault: Associated with shear stress, where the rocks move horizontally past each other.


Why does Magma come out of the fault?

Most fault movement is not directly associated with magma release. Some faults are caused by magmatic forces. These are usually closely associated with volcanoes. Besides these, so called normal faults are often associated with the extension or stretching of continents. Africa's rift valley and the American Basin and Range province are zones of extension. The stretching thins the crust and provides passageways for magma. Dikes, metal deposits, and lava eruptions can result, and they will be closely associated with faults. Besides these cases, over a wider range fault zones and volcanic zones often coincide because plate collisions produce both features.
