A normal fault is formed by extension. This type of fault occurs when tectonic forces pull two blocks of the Earth's crust apart, causing one block to drop relative to the other. This extension is typically associated with divergent plate boundaries, where the crust is being stretched.

Compression tension and shearing are three types of that cause deformation of the crust?
Compression occurs when rocks are pushed together, causing them to fold or fault. Tension is when rocks are pulled apart, leading to rift valleys or normal faults. Shearing is when rocks slide past each other horizontally, resulting in strike-slip faults.
Is it true that normal and reverse faults are at an angle?
Yes, normal and reverse faults are typically at an angle to the Earth's surface. Normal faults have a steep angle and occur in areas of extension, where the hanging wall drops down. Reverse faults have a gentler angle and occur in areas of compression, where the hanging wall moves up.
Straightening of a limb beyond its normal limits is called?
hyperextension
Are strike-slip faults caused by tension forces?
No, strike-slip faults are typically caused by horizontal shearing forces where blocks of the Earth's crust move past each other horizontally. Tension forces usually manifest in normal faults where blocks of the crust move away from each other, causing extension.
What landforms are formed from tension stress?
The first large structures formed by tensile stress in the crust are Horst and Graben structures. If the tensile stress state is maintained, these may form into a rift valley and ultimately develop into a new mid oceanic spreading centre.
What type of fault implies extension?
A 'normal' fault implies extension, as opposed to a 'thrust' fault which implies compression.
Are normal and reverse faults caused by compression?
Reverse failts are caused by compression. Normal faults however are formed by tension.

What fault formed as a result of horizontal compression?
A thrust fault is formed as a result of horizontal compression. In a thrust fault, one rock mass is pushed up and over another. These faults are common in mountain-building environments where tectonic forces cause horizontal compression of the Earth's crust.
What is the normal range of motion for shoulder extension?
The normal range of motion for shoulder extension is typically between 50 to 60 degrees.
Is it true that normal and reverse faults are at an angle?
Yes, normal and reverse faults are typically at an angle to the Earth's surface. Normal faults have a steep angle and occur in areas of extension, where the hanging wall drops down. Reverse faults have a gentler angle and occur in areas of compression, where the hanging wall moves up.
What is the compression psi on a 1990 engine?
Normal compression on a gasoline engine is about 125 psi.
What is normal compression for a Ford 7.3L diesel engine?
It has a compression ratio of 17.5:1
Are the contacts in an electrical extension cord further back the normal wall outlets?
A normal extension cord has a plug on it that is the same as any other plug.
What is the engine compression for a 93 jeep cherokee?
Normal engine compression would be 100-125psi
What is the cylinder compression for a 502 mercruiser engine?
Just did compression test on mine and the normal seems to be 160 -180
Are faults caused by tension or compression?
yes tension pulls the rocks apart which produces expanding faultscompression pushes the rocks together which produces crushing faultsshear slides the rocks past each other which produces slipping faults
