The stress is creating rigid lines which will separate the form eventually just like an earthquake does.

In A Blank Fault The Hanging Wall Moves Up Relative To The Footwall?

In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, whereas in a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.

How does the hanging wall in a normal fault move in relation to a reverse fault?

In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall, creating extensional forces. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall, generating compressional forces.


When the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall is it a fault.?

Thrust


What occurs when the hanging wall moves relative to the footwall?

A normal fault.


When the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall it is a fault .?

What are the 2 types of faultung?

The two main types of faulting are normal faulting, where the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, and reverse faulting, where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.


When the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall it is a fault.?

Yes, when the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall along a fault, it is known as a reverse fault. Reverse faults are caused by compressional forces in the Earth's crust, leading to the hanging wall moving up and over the footwall.


Is a hanging wall the same as a footwall?

No, a hanging wall and a footwall are not the same in geology. The hanging wall is the block of rock above a fault line that moves down relative to the footwall, which is the block of rock below the fault line that moves up.


Where in the reverse fault does the hanging wall move relative to the footwall?

The answer would be upward


What happens along a fault?

the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall
