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.


How does faulting of the earth's layer occur?

Faulting of the Earth's layers occurs when stress builds up within the crust, leading to the rock breaking and sliding along a fault plane. This movement releases energy in the form of an earthquake. Faulting can happen due to tectonic plate movements, volcanic activity, or regional stress within the Earth's crust.


Describe the three types of movement that can occur along a fault?

Normal faulting: occurs when the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, usually associated with extensional tectonic forces. Reverse faulting: happens when the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall, typically associated with compressional tectonic forces. Strike-slip faulting: occurs when two blocks slide past each other horizontally, caused by shearing forces.


How can folding and faulting form mountains?

Folding and Faulting usually work together to form mountains. Faulting works by one plate shifting up and one plate submerging. Folding however works by both plates pushing against each other slowly folding over and over. Faulting and Folding and work together to make mountains by as one plate moves down the other up causes the plate going up to roll over or move on top of the other plate then as the bottom plate gets heat from the earths core it rises folding the plate on top again to bring it even higher.

What are fault-block mountains primarily the result of - faulting and?

Fault-block mountains are primarily a result of faulting, where blocks of the Earth's crust are uplifted and tilted along faults. As tensional forces cause the crust to stretch and pull apart, blocks of rock along faults can move up or down relative to each other, creating mountainous landforms with steep sides.

What is a brief but vigorous fight called?

Where I'm from we call that a "dust-up". I have also heard it called a fracas, a brawl, and a kerfuffle. Where I am from its called a beat-down.


Folding and faulting of layers of rock?

Folding occurs when rock layers bend due to compressional forces, creating anticlines (upward folds) and synclines (downward folds). Faulting happens when rocks break and move along fractures, resulting in features like normal faults (hanging wall moves down) and reverse faults (hanging wall moves up). Both folding and faulting are common in regions experiencing tectonic forces.

What does scaffolding mean?

it means when scaffolding is put up its called erecting and the scaffolders who erect it can also be called erectors ,when taking it down we call it dismantling so we could be called dismantlers,
