What type of faulting results from expansive stresses?
Normal faulting results from expansive stresses, where the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to tensional forces pulling the plates apart. This type of faulting is common at divergent plate boundaries where new crust is being formed.
What types of stress are present at divergent plate boundaries?
divergent plate boundaries are associated with normal faulting. Thus there is a horizontal least compressive stress, vertical most compressive stress and a intermediate horizontal stress. All stresses are orthoganal to each other.
What stress is a normal fault?
They have the same type of force on each fault and the tension is released Whenever the vertical stress (which mostly is because of gravity) is more than horizontal stresses, normal faults can be created or activated.
What stresses the South American plate and the African Plate?
Far-field stresses triggered by portions of the northern boundary stress the African plate. Intraplate stresses are the driving forces in the South American plate
What is a recumbent fold?
Basically, if we cut away the earth to look at the strata (the rock layers), they form an "S" shape (forwards or backwards). Use the link and check out a drawing. You'll have to scroll down to figure 101-7 to see it. The picture says it all.
What are the stresses of the three different types of faults?
Compressional stresses (reverse or thrust fault) cause a rock to shorten. Tensional stresses (normal fault) cause a rock to elongate, or pull apart. Shear stresses (strike-slip or horizontal fault) causes rocks to slip past each other.
What fault is a product of horizontally directed tensional stresses?
Normal Faults

What type of plate boundary causes shear stresses?
Shearing stress is one of three kinds of stresses. Compressional and tensional are the others. Shearing stress is associated with transform. The other two kinds of plate boundaries are convergent and divergent.
What has the author Frank John Vecchio written?
Frank John Vecchio has written: 'The response of reinforced concrete to in-plane shear and normal stresses'
What statement describes the movement of crust in a normal fault?
In a normal fault, the crust moves along a downward sloping fault plane, with the hanging wall moving down relative to the footwall. This movement is caused by tensional stresses pulling the crust apart.
Wolff's law is concerned with?
Holds that a bone grows or remodels in response to the demands placed on it.
What is mohr's circle?
I am not sure if the term is used in cars and vehicles, but in the mechanics of materials, Mohr's circle is a graphical approach for finding solutions of stresses (or strains) of an element when the coordinate axes are rotated by a certain angle. In other words when you want to find the stresses (or strains) on a plane that is inclined to a certain angle from the plane of known stresses. When the technique is used for stresses, you draw a Mohr's circle of stresses and if it is for strains, you get the Mohr's circle of strains. When you work out the algebraic equations that transform known stresses (or strains) at a point to stresses (or strains) in an inclined plane, they result into an equation of a circle on a coordinate system whose horizontal axis is formed by the normal stress (or strain) and the vertical axis is formed by the shear stress (or strain). It is called the Mohr's circle since the technique was first developed by a German engineer called Otto Mohr.
What has the author B M Sadgrove written?
B. M. Sadgrove has written: 'Water retention tests on horizontal joints in thick-walled reinforced concrete structures' 'Water retention tests of horizontal joints in thick-walled reinforced concrete structures' -- subject(s): Reinforced concrete, Strains and stresses, Testing
How do you spell the plural of stress?
The plural of "stress" is "stresses."
What are the stresses on bridges?
There are a number of stresses inflicted upon bridges. Some of these stresses include compression, tension, as well as bending.
