What are three types of movements that occur along faults?
Normal faulting, where the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall. Reverse faulting, where the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall. Strike-slip faulting, where horizontal movement occurs parallel to the fault plane.
Faulting is to gently contoured mountains as folding is to what?
Folding and faulting in mountains occurs because of the movement of lithospheric plates as described in the theory of plate tectonics. Continent to continent collision compresses the crust and its sedimentary cover rocks, displacing and distorting them upwards (folding) and fracturing them (faulting). Folding and faulting can also occur in oceanic crust-continental crust collisions, in areas above subduction zones.
At which temperature will an earthquake occur?
An earthquake can occur at any temperature, as it is caused by tectonic plates shifting beneath the Earth's surface, not by the temperature of the air or ground.
What the importance of faults in natural hazards?
EARTHQUAKES - the sudden, intense shift along already formed fault cause earthquake to occur -earthquake occur around plate boundary where plate movement occur in the form of faulting
What is earthquake faulting?
when a trent is created
What is a sudden strong movement of Earth's crust?
An earthquake
Faulting earthquakes can occur?
yes, they can
What is the most common cause of and earthquake?
When the 2 plates strike and then slip. Or faulting.
What plates moved in the Japan's earthquake?
The earthquake in Japan is a result of the Pacific Plate subducting under the North American Plate. The earthquake was caused by thrust faulting.
How does faulting of the earth's layer occur?
Faulting of the Earth's layers occurs when stress builds up within the crust, leading to the rock breaking and sliding along a fault plane. This movement releases energy in the form of an earthquake. Faulting can happen due to tectonic plate movements, volcanic activity, or regional stress within the Earth's crust.
Can an earthquake occur in the ocean?
Yes. An earthquake may occur in the ocean.
What can occur hours or days after an earthquake?
Aftershocks can occur hours or days after an earthquake.
When would a tsunamic occur?
A tsunami is an ocean wave that is caused by an earthquake. It would occur after an earthquake.
