In a normal fault, the pressure comes from extensional forces that pull the Earth's crust apart. These forces create tension, causing one block of crust to move downward relative to another. This movement occurs along a fault plane, typically at an angle, allowing the crust to accommodate the stretching and thinning of the Earth's surface. The stress is primarily a result of tectonic plate movements associated with divergent boundaries.

Which type of fault is the result of tension forces?
A normal fault.
What kind of fault is the Owens fault?
it is a normal fault.
What is another name of a normal fault?
In a normal fault, the fault is at an angle, so one block of rock lies above the fault while the other lies below it. The rock above it is the hanging wall and the rock below it is the footwall. In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves downwards relative to the footwall.
What motion causes normal fault?
a pulling motion causes a normal fault
Name three different kinds of faults?

What are some fault?

Which type of fault cause a fault-block mountain to form?
A normal fault causes a fault-block mountain to form. In a normal fault, one block of rock moves downward relative to the other, creating a step-like feature. Over time, repeated movements along the fault can uplift and deform the crust, leading to the formation of fault-block mountains.

What is the opposite of a reverse fault?
