How are stress and faults related in earthquakes?
Stress and faults are both caused by tectonic plates.
What are normal faults caused by?
Normal faults are caused by tensional stress, which occurs when the Earth's crust is being pulled apart. This causes the hanging wall to move downward relative to the footwall, resulting in the formation of a normal fault.
Are both normal and reverse faults caused by tension?
Normal faults are caused by tensional forces pulling rocks apart, leading to the hanging wall moving down relative to the footwall. Reverse faults are caused by compressional forces pushing rocks together, leading to the hanging wall moving up relative to the footwall.
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.
A sharp cliff caused by sudden movements along dip-slip faults is called a .?
A sharp cliff caused by sudden movements along dip-slip faults is called an earthquake. It causes the ground to shake for several seconds.
Are faults caused by tension?
faults are caused by the plates under neath earth crashing together and/or parting
Are normal and reverse faults caused by compression?
Reverse failts are caused by compression. Normal faults however are formed by tension.

What are strike -slip faults caused by?
Landslide
What are normal faults caused by?
Normal faults are caused by tensional stress, which occurs when the Earth's crust is being pulled apart. This causes the hanging wall to move downward relative to the footwall, resulting in the formation of a normal fault.
Are faults caused by stress?
Yes, a strike-slip fault is caused by shearing.
Excessive or uneven tire wear can be caused by faults in the?
alignment.
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
Are both normal and reverse faults caused by tension?
Normal faults are caused by tensional forces pulling rocks apart, leading to the hanging wall moving down relative to the footwall. Reverse faults are caused by compressional forces pushing rocks together, leading to the hanging wall moving up relative to the footwall.
What does the haiti and Chile earthquakes have the same?
Two faults slipping past each other caused the earthquake in Haiti. The fault slipping as the Pacific Plate slid under the South American Plate raising the Andes Mountains caused the earthquake in Chile. Or, while both were caused by moving faults, the faults moved for different reasons.
