1. Faults can be vertical or horizontal (approximately)
2. a fault is a separation or crack in the earths crust
3. when faults slide against each other they create an earthquake
4. Earthquakes can cause tsunamis
5. Earthquakes are found most commonly on fault lines
The three major types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Synclines are not faults but rather geological structures that describe the folding of rock layers.
The three main types of fault lines are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Normal faults occur when rocks are pulled apart, reverse faults form when rocks are pushed together, and strike-slip faults happen when rocks slide past each other horizontally.
Faults.
Faults which appear to have displaced rock strata horizontally are called strike slip faults. The two blocks that have been displaced move in opposite directions along the fault line.
The normal fault, the thrust fault, the transcurrent fault , and the reverse fault.
Think about some facts you know about faults, and then put them into a sentence. Then, change the words that need to be rhyming words and you should have a poem!
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.
Normal faults have a hanging wall and footwall Normal Faults are common at mid-ocean ridges Normal Faults occur where the crust is being pulled apart at the divergent plate boudary. Sorry i only have 3 facts, but I anyone with the question
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.
Faults are created when tectonic plates are stretching or compressing. There are two types of faults which are normal and reverse faults.
Your faults are flaws in your personality. Earth's faults are cracks in the ground along which blocks of rock move.

Cable faults are normally categorised as (a) conductor-to-earth (ground) faults, (b) conductor-to-conductor faults, and (c) conductor-to-conductor-to earth (ground) faults. In addition to that, we can categorise them by whether they are 'high-resistance' or 'low-resistance' faults.
The main direction of the stress on blocks of rock at normal faults, reverse faults and the strike slip faults usually happens at the weak areas.
The two types of faults that can result in mountains are thrust faults and normal faults. Thrust faults occur when one tectonic plate is forced up over another, while normal faults occur when the Earth's crust is being pulled apart, causing one block to drop down relative to the other.
