In power engineering, specifically three-phase power, a symmetric, symmetrical or balanced fault is a fault which affects each of the three-phases equally.In power engineering, specifically three phase power, an asymmetricor unbalanced fault is a fault which does not affect each of the three phases equally.

for these reasons thus symmetrical faults are more severe than the former.

Why do longer faults usually produce larger earthquakes than short faults?

Longer faults have a larger area of rupture, which allows more accumulated stress to be released during an earthquake. Additionally, longer faults tend to involve greater amounts of energy release due to the larger fault surface area, resulting in larger earthquakes.


What is unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine?

Dimethylhydrazine (DMH) has the chemical formula C2H8N2, but that's only part of the story, as you might have guessed. There is a symmetrical and an unsymmetrical "version" of this chemical compound. Let's start with the middle of the compound: N-N That's the pair of nitrogen atoms with a single bond between them. Now we have to deal with the pair of bonds on each nitrogen atom. There is a CH3 and a CH3 and H and H to add to the "mix" here. It's simple from here on out. In UDMH, unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (1,1 dimethylhydrazine), the H and the H are bonded to the "end" of one nitrogen atom, and the CH3 and the CH3 are bonded to the "end" of the other nitrogen atom. It's unsymmetrical because the H's are both on one end, and the CH3's are both on the other end. It might look something like this: HH N-N CH3CH3 The unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine finds use as a component of rocket fuel. But you have to keep this stuff capped to isolate it from air 'cause it likes to take up the moisture in it, and the O2 and CO2 as well. These dilute its effectiveness as a propellant. It's fairly stable, and cannot be set off by shock, but it's volitile, as you might have guessed. In symmetrical dimethylhydrazine (1,2 dimethylhydrazine), H and CH3 are on one outside, and CH3 and H are on the other outside. Note that the H's and the CH3's are on opposite "corners" of the molecule. If you look at the thing, it might look like this: CH3H N-N HCH3 This particularly nasty compound is a powerful carcinogen, and it is used to induce tumors in animals for research purposes. UDMH has roots in hydrazine (N2H4), which has been known for quite a while (since the late 1800's). It was incorporated in the earliest rocket fuels, but UDMH rapidly replaced it for the most part. It is certain that the Natzi war machine used it, and the Me 163 Komet is an example of a user of hydrazine fuel. UDMH might be viewed as at "take off" from hydrazine.

What are the 4 different types of faults?

The 4 main types of fault are summarised below:Dip-slip faultsStrike-slip / transcurrent faultsOblique-slip faultsListric faultDip slip faults are those where the relative motion on the fault is broadly vertical. Examples include normal faults where the hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall. Reverse faults have the opposite sense of motion, with the hangingwall moving up relative to the footwall. Thrust faults are a special type of reverse fault where the dip of the fault plane is at a shallower angle than 45 degrees from the horizontal.Strike slip or transcurrent faults are those where the relative motion on the fault is broadly horizontal. The fault plane in these types of faults is normally near vertical and the sense of motion is described in terms of the relative movement of the rockmass on the far side of the fault plane. If this relative movement is to the left, then it is known as a sinistral fault. If he motion is to the right it is a dextral fault.Oblique slip faults are those have have a significant component of both vertical and horizontal movement. They can be thought of a composite of the dip slip and strike slip faults.Listric faults are characterised by a curved fault plane surface. They usually start of relatively steep and then become more shallow with increased depth and may ultimately become horizontal.Previous Answer:The four different types of faults are normal, reverse, transcurrent (also known as strike-slip), and thrust. Normal faults are so named because movement follows what would be expected from normal effects of gravity--one plate slides downward, pulled by gravity, and the other plate forms a cliff face. The reverse fault, then, is the opposite of a normal fault--one plate moves against gravity and slides over the other. Transcurrent faults feature horizontal movement rather than up/down movement; plates slide along each other, resulting in offset roads and such. Finally, thrust faults are similar to reverse faults--one plate moves over the other--but the angles of movement for thrust faults are generally less steep, and thrust faults are more commonly associated with geographical features such as mountain ranges.


Why do some areas of the world have more earthquakes than others?

Some areas have more earthquakes because they are located near tectonic plate boundaries where the Earth's plates interact and cause seismic activity. The movement of these plates can lead to the buildup of stress in the Earth's crust, which is released as earthquakes. Areas with more active faults are more likely to experience frequent earthquakes.


To change or improve something by correcting faults or removing abuses?

To amend is to make changes to something in order to improve it or make it more accurate or fair. It involves correcting faults or removing abuses in order to enhance the overall quality or effectiveness of the thing being amended.

What are the differences in perception and attractiveness between a symmetrical face and a non-symmetrical face?

Research suggests that people generally perceive symmetrical faces as more attractive than non-symmetrical faces. Symmetry is often associated with good health and genetic fitness, which may explain why symmetrical faces are considered more attractive. Non-symmetrical faces may be perceived as less attractive because they deviate from the "ideal" proportions that are typically associated with beauty.
