No.
A transform fault is a lateral movement across the strike. Huge transform faults dominate the Atlantic Ocean floor like ribs extending from the sides of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
A reverse fault has vertical displacement (becoming horizontal at depth if listric) in which the hanging wall drops relative to the footwall, and is associated with continental crust thinning and spreading.
What else can I help you with?
A fault generally occurs at a transform boundary?
A strike-slip fault generally occurs at a transform boundary
What is the difference between a transform and a transverse fault?
A transform fault is a general term to describe a plate boundary where the lithosphere is not destroyed or created. A transverse fault is a type of transform fault also known as a strike-slip fault.
What type boundary is the San Andreas Fault?
It is a right-lateral strike-slip fault
Is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge a transform fault?
Yes, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent boundary, not a transform fault.
The hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall in a?
Reverse Fault
Is a strike-slip fault the same as a transform fault?
Yes, a strike-slip fault and a transform fault are the same type of fault where rocks on either side of the fault move horizontally in opposite directions. Transform faults are specifically located at the boundaries between tectonic plates, where most of the lateral movement occurs as horizontal slippage.
What are the 3 type of earthquakes?
(1)midocean spreading ridges, (2) subduction zones, and (3) transform faults.Normal fault, Reverse fault, and strike-slip fault
What is most studied transform fault in the world?
The most studied transform fault in the world is the San Andreas Fault.
What fault occur at transform boundary?
A strike-slip or transform fault.
Is a thrust fault the same as normal fault?
No. A thrust fault is a reverse fault with a dip angle of less than 45 degrees.
What is the studied transform fault in the world?
The most studied transform fault in the world is the San Andreas Fault.
What is the opposite of a reverse fault?
A normal fault is the opposite of a reverse fault.
A fault generally occurs at a transform boundary?
A strike-slip fault generally occurs at a transform boundary
The rocks above a what fault are forced up and over below the fault?
A reverse fault is formed here
What kind of fault is the Hayward fault?
the Hayward fault is a "transform" fault. :)
Is the San Andreas fault a thrust fault?
No. It is a transform fault.
Is the alpine fault a transform fault?
The Alpine Fault is a geological right-lateral strike-slip fault. It forms a transform boundary, so yes.
