What is the type of stress for a reverse fault?
In a reverse fault the maximum principal stress is horizontal, compression causes reverse (thrust) faults.
What is a fault with horizontal movement called?
Horizontal faults can be refered to as lateral faults or strike-slip faults.
What is a fault caused by compression forces?
Reverse Fault
Which type of fault is under compression?
Reverse and thrust faults are both under compressive stress.
What is A fault with horizontal movement?
A horizontally moving fault is called a strike-slip fault
What type of FAULT is the result of compression forces?
a reverse fault
What force causes a revers fault?
At a reverse fault, compression forces pushes on rocks from opposite directions.
What is the type of stress for a reverse fault?
In a reverse fault the maximum principal stress is horizontal, compression causes reverse (thrust) faults.
What stress causes a fault?
In a reverse fault the maximum principal stress is horizontal, compression causes reverse (thrust) faults.
What type of fault can result from horizontal shearing object plates?
strike-slip
Cliffs formed as a result of faulting are called?
A line of cliffs formed by displacement along a fault is known as a fault scarp.
What is the difference between a normal fault and reverse fault?
A Reverse fault is happens when tectonic forces cause compression that PUSHES rocks together. Normal fault happens when tectonic forces cause tension that PULLS rocks apart.Normal fault is when the hanging block moves down relative to foot block wall where as the reverse fault is formed when the hanging block wall moves up relative to the foot block walls a result of tension and compression force respectively
A what fault moves because it is under compression?
A reverse fault moves because it is under compression. The dip of a reverse fault is relatively steep, greater than 45-degrees.
What is a fault with horizontal movement called?
Horizontal faults can be refered to as lateral faults or strike-slip faults.
What California geologic features formed the result of erosin by glaciers?
San Andreas Fault
What is a fault caused by compression forces?
Reverse Fault
What does reverse fault produce?
The hanging wall moves up relative to the foot wall. These happen when tectonic forces push rocks together. It is caused by compression.
