What are reverse faults created by?
convergent plate motion
What happens when crustal plates slide past each other?
Earthquakes occur and faults are created. (Next: transform boundary) no crust is created or destroyed.
What faults are correctly associated with which types of stress?
All faults are associated with stress, as summarised below: Normal faults - tensile stress Reverse / thrust faults - compressive stress Strike slip faults - shear stress
What are the 3 different types of rock movement in earthquakes?
Normal faults, reverse faults, and last but not least transform faults.
Normal and reverse faults are characterized mainly by?
dip-slip faults
How faults are made?
Faults are created when tectonic plates are stretching or compressing. There are two types of faults which are normal and reverse faults.
When was Letting Up Despite Great Faults created?
Letting Up Despite Great Faults was created in 2006.
How normal faults created?
Very carefully.
What Types of landforms made by reverse faults?
Landforms created at reverse faults include mountain ranges and volcanoes. Reverse faults occur at convergent boundaries and the type of convergent boundary determines the landform created.
What are reverse faults created by?
convergent plate motion
Is a fault-block mountain created by reverse faults?
no
How a fault block is created?
by two normal faults
How is a fault-block mountain created?
by two normal faults
What is created when rocks move apart?
Rocks moving apart can cause normal faults to form, as opposed to reverse and strike-slip faults.
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.
Is a fault block mountain created by 2 normal faults?
Yes, and a mountain range
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.
