What are 3 types of stress and the faults each creates?
Normal Faults (extensional force <-- --> ) Reverse Faults (Compressional Force --> <--- ) Strike Slip faults (Sliding force in opposite directions.. ( ---> <--- )
What is the difference between depositional contact and fault contact?
depositional contacts occur between rocks that formed when sediments were deposited on other sediments.fault contacts are usually shown as thick black lines on geologic maps
What is the difference between Active and inactive faults?
An active fault is a fault that has displayed recent seismic activity, while an inactive fault has not displayed recent seismic activity.Do not be fooled by the word "recent," however, as we are talking about "recent" from a geological perspective, which is much different from a non-geologic perspective. Because of the fickle nature of plate tectonics, an active fault could have earthquakes as often as once every few years or once every one thousand years. Conversely, it's very hard to call a fault inactive if we don't know it's quake history, and for some faults, geologists will wait ten thousand years in between quakes to call them inactive.There are a variety of techniques that geologists can use to help them determine the frequency of earthquakes among faults, however. If a history of quakes coming from the fault are available, scientists can look at the average period of time in between quakes to determine whether a fault is presently "active" or "inactive." Scientists can also measure creep among fault lines to check for seismic activity.There really is no way to concretely define a fault as "active" or "inactive" (especially because inactive faults can suddenly become active again), but it's more or less safe to say that if a fault hasn't shown tectonic activity for about 5,600 years, it's probably inactive.++Just to add to that explanation, if movement occurs on long-quiescent fault in a new phase of tectonic activity, the fault is described as 're-activated', and the new movement can be the opposite to the original.
Why is California's San Andreas Fault a strike-slip fault?
What you are referring to is a plate boundary. A plate boundary is an area where two tectonic plates are either moving away, moving towards, or moving along each other. San Andreas fault is a plate boundary because the fault is located over two tectonic plates that are moving along each other.
What is shown in each element?
An atomic number is shown in each element.
What is fault elevation?
Elevation can impact how active an earthquake fault is. Studies have shown that the higher in altitude a fault line is, the more active the fault line is.
A triangle ABC and its translated image XYZ are shown at right?
No, nothing is shown at right!
What Difference in elevator are best shown using a what?
They are best shown using a holographic image.
What is the first parasite shown in the DPDx Parasite Image Library?
Nematodes is the first parasite shown in the DPDx Parasite Image Library. Not very pretty, but you can find more information on the Parasite Image Library page.
Which has been shown to alleviate stress effectively?
Social support.
What size of image does a plane mirrors produce?
it shows the same size of the image or object shown in front of it
What is a Latin cross called when it is shown with an image of Christ?
crucfix
Is CH2 a subunit?
It can be, in long chain hydrocarbons as shown in the image.
Why The clouds shown in the image above are generally associated with .?
fair weather
What type of lighting protection system is shown in the image?
Mast System
What are shakes in timber?
Star Shakes ShakesShakes are separation of the fibres along the grain developed in the standing tree, in felling or in seasoning. They are caused by the development of high internal stresses probably caused by the maturity of the tree. The shake is the result of stress relief and in the first place results in a single longitudal crack from the heart and through the diameter of the tree.As the stress increases a second relief crack takes form at right angles to the first and is shown as a double heart shake.Further cracks are known as star shakes and show the familiar pattern shown.
