The hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall in a?
Reverse Fault
Which fault occurs when the hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall?
Actually the first one is right! In my science book its clearly says :normal fault, the fault is at an angle so one block of rock lies above the fault while the other fault lies below the fault. When movement occurs along a normal fault, the hanging wall slips downward. sorry Smallvillegirl... SO THE ANSWER IS NORMAL FAULTSActually, that's wrong. I have the same crossword puzzle whoever answered the question, and it was assigned for homework, and if number 6 across is shearing, number 5 down would have to be reverse. It is reverse fault.=SmallvilleGrl=Old Answer:The answer to this question is easy! Unless you don't know your Earth Science of course! There are three different types of faults:Normal Faults, Reverse Faults, and Strike-slip Faults.A strike-slip fault(or a latteral fault) moves in opposition of each other.A reverse fault is when the hanging wall moves upward caused by compression.A normal fault is when the hanging wall moves downward caused by tension.So there you have it! The answer to your question is obviously a NORMAL FAULT!!!!!If you need any more answers' about Earth Science post some more questions and I'll answer them for ya!!!!!sincerely,~Anonymous~
This type of fault occurs when rock above the fault moves upward at the fault line?
A reverse fault occurs when rock above the fault moves upward at the fault line. This type of fault is associated with compressional stress where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall. Reverse faults are common in regions undergoing compression, such as convergent plate boundaries.
Is The San Andreas fault in California is an example of a reverse thrust fault?
False
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 is the opposite of a reverse fault?
A normal fault is the opposite of a reverse fault.
The rocks above a what fault are forced up and over below the fault?
A reverse fault is formed here
What fault occurs at a convergent boundary.?
A reverse fault
What is a fault that is formed when compression causes the hanging wall to move over the foot wall is a?
This is called a reverse or thrust fault.
By what type of fault were the sierra mountains formed?
Normal fault, i believe is true.
What are the three faults in scienceNomal Fault Reverse fault and?
normal reverse strike-slip
The hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall in a?
Reverse Fault
Name three different kinds of faults?
three kinds of faults are normal fault, reverse fault, and strike-slip fault.

What are some fault?
normal fault reverse fault slip strike fault
What are the 3 fault's?
normal fault, reverse fault, strike-slip fault,
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.
