What kind of fault moves because it is under tension?
A normal fault moves because it is under tension. In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to the pulling apart of the Earth's crust, creating space and tension that cause the fault to move.
Type of fault that may form when rocks are pulled apart due to tension?
Rocks being pulled apart are under tension. This is found at divergent plate boundaries. It is a tension fault.
Which type of fault is under tension?
Normal Thrust
Which type of fault is the result of tension?
Normal faults are the result of tensile stresses.
Which type of fault is the result of tension forces?
A normal fault.
What fault is caused by tension forces?
A normal fault.
Which type of fault is the result of tension and why?
Normal Fault

What is a fault formed due to tension on rocks called?
It is called a normal fault.
What type of fault is tension associated with hanging wall?
the upper wall of an inclined fault

normal
What are landforms produced by tension?
Fault-Block MountainsValleys
Which type of fault is the result of tension?
Normal faults are the result of tensile stresses.
Which type of fault is the result of tension forces?
A normal fault.
What type of fault in under tension?
A fault that is under tension is typically a normal fault. In a normal fault, the rock above the fault plane moves downward relative to the rock below, primarily due to extensional forces that pull the crust apart. This type of faulting is common in areas experiencing tectonic stretching, such as divergent boundaries or continental rift zones. The tension creates a landscape characterized by basins and elongated ridges.
