What else can I help you with?
What are the three types of faults and what type of plate boundary are they associated with?
The three types of faults are normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults. Normal faults are associated with divergent plate boundaries, reverse faults with convergent plate boundaries, and strike-slip faults with transform plate boundaries.
How faults are made?
Faults are created when tectonic plates are stretching or compressing. There are two types of faults which are normal and reverse faults.
What are the movements produced by the three types of faults?
-Normal Faults form when the hanging wall moves down. -Reverse Faults form when the hanging wall moves up. -Strike-Slip Faults have walls that moce sideways, instead of up or down.
Explain how volcanoes form in the central rift valley of a divergent boundary?
Earthquakes occur along the faults, and volcanoes form when magma reaches the surface, and then the valleys form from erosion.
What are the 3 types of fault?
Reverse faultNormal faultStrike-slip fault
Three types of faults?
The normal fault, the thrust fault, the transcurrent fault , and the reverse fault.
What are the three types of faults and what type of plate boundary are they associated with?
The three types of faults are normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults. Normal faults are associated with divergent plate boundaries, reverse faults with convergent plate boundaries, and strike-slip faults with transform plate boundaries.
What types of faults formed in compressional stress?
reverse fault
What type of boundary forms faults?
a transform boundary
What is created when rocks move apart?
Rocks moving apart can cause normal faults to form, as opposed to reverse and strike-slip faults.
At what kind of tectonic boundary would you mostly likely find reverse fault?
You would most likely find a reverse fault at a convergent tectonic boundary, where two tectonic plates are colliding and one plate is being forced up and over the other. Reverse faults are characterized by vertical displacement and compression.
What Types of landforms made by reverse faults?
Reverse faults create landforms such as thrust faults, fault scarps, and fold mountains. Thrust faults are characterized by large sheets of rock moving over one another, leading to the uplifting of landforms. Fault scarps are steep cliffs formed as a result of vertical displacement along the fault. Fold mountains are created by the compression and uplift of rock layers along a reverse fault, resulting in long mountain ranges with folded and contorted rock formations.
How do reverse faults move?
reverse faults move from compression when the hanging wall moves up
What are the three types of fault lines?
The three main types of fault lines are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Normal faults occur when rocks are pulled apart, reverse faults form when rocks are pushed together, and strike-slip faults happen when rocks slide past each other horizontally.
Which type of fault occurs when rocks are pushed together as they meet?
These will form reverse or thrust faults.
Why are thrust fault reverse faults and folds commonly found in the same place?
Thrust faults and reverse faults are essentially the same, the only difference being the angle: thrust faults have a shallow angle of 45 degrees or less from horizontal. Reverse (thrust) faults and folds usually indicate rock being compressed. In many cases folds develop along reverse faults as one fault block is dragged along another, with an anticline forming in the hanging wall.
What can happen if earthquakes are away from plate boundary?
new faults may form, but I'm not really sure what your asking
