What type of faults don't cause tsunamis?

Normal faults, where the hanging wall drops down relative to the footwall, typically do not generate tsunamis. These faults are more common in areas of active stretching of the Earth's crust and are not usually associated with the sudden vertical displacement of large volumes of water required to trigger a tsunami.


What types of faults formed in compressional stress?

reverse fault


What is created when rocks move apart?

Rocks moving apart can cause normal faults to form, as opposed to reverse and strike-slip faults.


What are two types of faults that can result in mountains?

Thrust faults and reverse faults can result in mountain formation. Thrust faults occur when rocks are pushed up and over each other, while reverse faults involve compressional forces causing rocks to move vertically. Both of these fault types contribute to the uplift and formation of mountain ranges.


How do reverse faults move?

reverse faults move from compression when the hanging wall moves up


Which type of fault is under compression?

Reverse and thrust faults are both under compressive stress.


Which type of fault is likely to form in an area where rock layer have been folded?

Folding is usually the result of compressional stress. This may also cause thrust / reverse faults.


What type of stress faults produces reverse faults?

compression


What are the three major types of faults are normal reverse and syncline.?

The three major types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Synclines are not faults but rather geological structures that describe the folding of rock layers.


What is the main direction of stress on blocks of rock at normql faults reverse faults and strike-slip faults?

The main direction of the stress on blocks of rock at normal faults, reverse faults and the strike slip faults usually happens at the weak areas.


Does divergent motion create reverse faults?

No, divergent motion does not create reverse faults. Reverse faults are created by compressional forces that cause the rock layers to be pushed together, leading to an upward movement on one side of the fault. Divergent motion, on the other hand, occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other, creating rift zones and normal faults.


What boundary do reverse faults form at?

the best answer is reverse boundary
