A locked fault is a fault that is not slipping because frictional resistance on the fault is greater than the shear stress across the fault (it is stuck). Such faults may store strain for extended periods that is eventually released in an earthquake when frictional resistance is overcome.

How does a fault moves when it is under compression?
Well, when a fault is under compression, it can move in a few different ways. Sometimes it might slide horizontally, creating a strike-slip fault. Other times, it may move vertically, forming a thrust fault. Each fault has its own unique way of responding to the forces acting on it, creating the beautiful landscapes we see all around us.
When friction prevents the rocks on either side of a fault from moving past each other the fault is?
When friction prevents the rocks on either side of a fault from moving past each other, the fault is said to be "locked" or "stuck." This buildup of stress along the fault can eventually lead to a sudden release of energy in the form of an earthquake when the friction is overcome. This phenomenon is known as fault locking and is a key concept in understanding earthquake mechanics.
Is the San Andreas Fault a normal fault?
No, the San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip fault, not a normal fault.
What are Faults where few earthquakes have occurred are called?
If there is little or no earthquake activity on a fault, or a section of a fault then it may be: Inactive (no longer moving) Locked (If it is known to be building up strain for a future large earthquake, i.e. San Andreas) or It may be releasing nearly all it's stress by creeping, rather than in large quakes.
Is a thrust fault a normal fault?
No, a thrust fault is a type of reverse fault, where the hanging wall moves up and over the footwall. In contrast, a normal fault is a type of fault where the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall.
What happenes if a fault is locked?
Pressure bulids which can result in a larger earthquake when the fault is relased.
Does stress build in areas where rock along fault lines snag and remain locked?
Yes, stress can build up along fault lines where rocks snag and remain locked. This stress can accumulate over time until it is released in the form of an earthquake when the built-up energy exceeds the strength of the rocks holding the fault together.
What is a fault in an immobilized state called?
A fault in an immobilized state is called a "seismic slip." This occurs when there is stress accumulation along a fault that does not result in an earthquake, keeping the fault locked and immobile until it eventually releases as an earthquake.
Will AAA cover the cost of a car locksmith if you locked your keys in the car?
No, AAA will not cover the cost of a car locksmith if you locked your keys in the car. Such an incident is considerd as personal fault and has nothing to do with insurance.

You have a front brake locked down on 93 suburban changed caliper and bled when you finshed brake locked down tight what is stoping fluid from going back?
It is a good possiblity the brake hose feeding that wheel is at fault.

Different between locked rotor current and starting current?
Locked rotor current is the current drawn by a motor when the rotor is prevented from turning, usually occurring during a fault condition. Starting current, on the other hand, is the initial surge of current required to start the motor and overcome inertia. Locked rotor current is typically higher than starting current.
Why does pressure build up in the San Andreas fault?
This will cause deformation of the rocks around the fault zone. This stores energy in the form of elastic strain. Ultimately if the stress exceeds the shear strength of the fault, brittle deformation will occur and the stored energy will be released in part as seismic waves causing an earthquake.
How do you fix a wheel when it locks on a Mercedes-Benz.?
Remove the tire. Check the brake caliper to see if it's locked up. If it is, remove it and see if you can clean the piston. Caliper kits are available from PerformanceProducts.com for $16 to $28. If the caliper isn't at fault, you may have spun a wheel bearing. This is quite a job for an experienced mechanic ( I dealt with mine on Christmas Day 2007). If the locked tire is in the rear, and your calipers are okay, then you might have a locked parking brake.
Somebody went on your playstation network account and got it banned by swearing it has been locked for a whole month and it wasnt your fault where can you appeal?
start new acount If you allowed someone to use your account it is partly your fault. If you gave up your password and other account information it is even more your fault. The related question includes more reasons for an account to be banned and has a link to the PlayStation network where you can search for appeal procedures.
