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.
What type of fault moves because it is under tension?
A normal fault moves because of tension. In this type of fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to the stretching and pulling apart of the Earth's crust.
Which type of fault is under tension?
Normal Thrust
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 the result of tension?
Normal faults are the result of tensile stresses.

Why does a fault move because it is under tension?
A fault moves under tension because the tectonic forces acting on the Earth's crust create stress that exceeds the frictional resistance along the fault plane. When the stress accumulates to a critical point, it causes the rocks to fracture and slip, releasing energy in the form of an earthquake. This movement is driven by the desire of the Earth's materials to return to a state of equilibrium after being deformed by the applied tension.
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.
Rock above a fault that moves downward?
It moves downward.. the force behind it is tension
What type of fault usually occurs because tension?
normal
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
