What does a fault do?
well, a fault pretty much does break or crack along wich rocks move.
What is a paved road?
It's a road that is not just rocks in a line it's a road made by many machines which makes it smooth and quite flat to drive on.
What statements states relative age?
"The fossils found in this rock layer are older than the fossils found in the layer above it." "The granite intrusion is younger than the surrounding sedimentary rocks." "The volcanic ash layer is slightly older than the layer of soil above it." "The erosion pattern on the hillside indicates that the granite rocks are older than the layers of sediment deposited on top of them." "The cross-cutting relationship between the fault and the layers of rock indicate that the fault is younger than the rock layers it cuts through."
What types of rocks are in a volcano?
igneous rocks
How old are the rocks in garden of the gods?
the rocks are 67576million years old and some of the rocks are 13542million years old.
What type of fault may form when rocks are pulled apart?
A normal fault may form when rocks are pulled apart. In a normal fault, the hanging wall drops down relative to the footwall due to tensional forces pulling the rocks apart.
Type of fault that may form when rocks are pulled apart due to tension?
Rocks being pulled apart are under tension. This is found at divergent plate boundaries. It is a tension fault.
What is a type of fault that may form when rocks are pulled apart?
a divergent boundry
What makes a fault different from other kinds of fractures in rocks?
Rocks on either side of a fault move along the surface of the fault.
What kind of fault makes rocks move past each other?
Transform fault
What rocks above a fault are forced up and over the rocks below the fault?
a reverse fault
What fault causes rocks to become twisted and strained?
A Transform fault where one tectonic plate slides past another tectonic plate results with rocks being pulled apart. Slippage results when the rock of one plate bends the rock of another, causing elastic rebounds and the release of energy as surface waves.
What fault is made when compression pushes rocks together?
When compression pushes rocks together, faults form when the stress exceeds the strength of the rocks, causing them to break and push against each other. These fault zones can be areas of high seismic activity as the rocks continue to be pushed and undergo deformation.
Tension pulls rocks apart and creates this kind of fault?
Tension creates normal faults, where the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall. This type of fault is common in divergent boundary settings when tectonic plates move away from each other, causing extension and the rocks to be pulled apart.
What kind of fault are rocks forced up and over the rocks below?
Reverse fault
Type of fault that may form when rocks are compressed?
A reverse fault may form when rocks are compressed.
What is the difference between a crack in the earths crust and a fault?
A crack in the Earth's crust is a fracture where rocks have pulled apart, whereas a fault is a fracture where there has been movement along the fracture plane. In other words, a fault is a type of crack in the Earth's crust that has undergone displacement.
