Compare normal faults to reverse faults?
Normal is always on the ocean border and reverse is always not in an ocean border
Normal and reverse faults are characterized mainly by?
dip-slip faults
Which type of fault is under compression?
Reverse and thrust faults are both under compressive stress.
What are the 3 different types of rock movement in earthquakes?
Normal faults, reverse faults, and last but not least transform faults.
Why are thrust fault reverse faults and folds commonly found in the same place?
Thrust faults and reverse faults are essentially the same, the only difference being the angle: thrust faults have a shallow angle of 45 degrees or less from horizontal. Reverse (thrust) faults and folds usually indicate rock being compressed. In many cases folds develop along reverse faults as one fault block is dragged along another, with an anticline forming in the hanging wall.
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.
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.
Is a fault-block mountain created by reverse faults?
no
What types of faults formed in compressional stress?
reverse fault
What is created when rocks move apart?
Rocks moving apart can cause normal faults to form, as opposed to reverse and strike-slip faults.
How do reverse faults move?
reverse faults move from compression when the hanging wall moves up
What type of stress faults produces reverse faults?
compression
Compare normal faults to reverse faults?
Normal is always on the ocean border and reverse is always not in an ocean border
What is the main direction of stress on blocks of rock at normql faults reverse faults and strike-slip 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.
Normal and reverse faults are characterized mainly by?
dip-slip faults
Two types of faults can result in mountains which are they?
The two types of faults that can result in mountains are reverse faults and normal faults.
Are normal and reverse faults caused by compression?
Reverse failts are caused by compression. Normal faults however are formed by tension.
