an area of weakness in the crust.
The answer is a dip-slip fault, When a portion of rock moves upward leaving the other in place with a dip this is known as a dip-slip fault.
Dip-Slip fault is a bedding fault and its pattern is En-Echelon, while Strike Slip fault is strike fault and its pattern is Parallel.
has to do with the movement
No side is consistently the hanging wall or the footwall for the San Andreas Fault. Some parts of it dip east while others dip west. Since the San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip fault, which blocks form the hanging wall and footwall is not particularly important.
Dip-slip faults is the term used for any fault that has movement in the vertical direction. One side moves up where as the other side moves down. Examples are Normal Fault and Reverse fault.
The dip of a unit represents the angle at which the bed inclines from the horizontal. In dip-slip faults, the fault blocks move up and down, parallel to the dip of the fault plane.
The answer is a dip-slip fault, When a portion of rock moves upward leaving the other in place with a dip this is known as a dip-slip fault.
Dip-Slip fault is a bedding fault and its pattern is En-Echelon, while Strike Slip fault is strike fault and its pattern is Parallel.
The answer is a dip-slip fault, When a portion of rock moves upward leaving the other in place with a dip this is known as a dip-slip fault.
No. It is a strike-slip fault.
Dip-Slip fault is a bedding fault and its pattern is En-Echelon, while Strike Slip fault is strike fault and its pattern is Parallel.
Yes. Both thrust (reverse) and normal faults are dip-slip faults.
has to do with the movement
This a reverse or dip-slip fault.
No. A thrust fault is a reverse fault with a dip angle of less than 45 degrees.
The answer is a dip-slip fault, When a portion of rock moves upward leaving the other in place with a dip this is known as a dip-slip fault.
A fault that is a combination of dip-slip and strike-slip movements
