sheer wall
A sharp cliff caused by sudden movements along dip-slip faults is called an earthquake. It causes the ground to shake for several seconds.
Normal faults are characterized by the hanging wall moving down relative to the footwall, while reverse faults are characterized by the hanging wall moving up relative to the footwall. Both faults are caused by compressional forces in the Earth's crust, but their movements are opposite in direction.
A seismometer is the instrument used to measure horizontal movements along faults. It records the seismic waves generated by these movements.
Three types of faults include: Strike-slip fault: horizontal movements along the fault line Normal fault: caused by tensional forces, with the hanging wall moving down relative to the footwall Reverse fault: caused by compressional forces, with the hanging wall moving up relative to the footwall
yes tension pulls the rocks apart which produces expanding faultscompression pushes the rocks together which produces crushing faultsshear slides the rocks past each other which produces slipping faults

faults are caused by the plates under neath earth crashing together and/or parting

Reverse failts are caused by compression. Normal faults however are formed by tension.
seismic waves
Stress and faults are both caused by tectonic plates.
