Which type of fault occurs when a portion of rock moves downward leaving the other place with the overhang?
parallel normal faults.
What is the hanging wall of a fault?
The hanging wall is the block of rock located above the fault plane. It moves downward in a normal fault and upward in a reverse fault during faulting events. It is named "hanging" because in underground mining, it appears to hang over the miners' heads.
When the rock above the fault surface moves down relative to the Rock below the fault surface what kind of fault?
This is described as a normal fault.
How does the hanging wall in a normal fault move in relation to a reverse fault?
In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall, creating extensional forces. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall, generating compressional forces.
What type of fault causes the land to move downward?
In a normal fault the hanging wall moves downward. With this type of fault, the hanging wall also shifts horizontally away from the fault line.
What fault rock above the fault surface moves downward in relation to rock below the fault surface?
This kind of fault is called a normal fault and is usually a sign of crustal extension.
This type of fault occurs when rock moves downward at the fault line?
A normal fault occurs when rock is pulled apart, causing one block of rock to move downward relative to the other. This displacement is due to tensional forces acting on the earth's crust, causing the hanging wall to drop relative to the footwall along the fault plane.
Which type of fault occurs when a portion of rock moves downward leaving the other in place with an overhang?
A normal fault occurs when a portion of rock moves downward relative to the other in place. This type of fault is caused by tensional forces pulling the rock mass apart, resulting in the hanging wall moving down relative to the footwall.
Rock above a fault that moves downward?
It moves downward.. the force behind it is tension
Which type of fault occurs when a portion of rock moves downward, leaving the other in place with an overhangreversethruststrike-slipnormal?
reverse
Which type of fault occurs when a portion of rock moves downward leaving the other place with the overhang?
parallel normal faults.
Which type of fault occurs when a portion of the rock moves downward leaving the other in place with an overhang?
parallel normal faults.
What is a block of rock that lies below the plane of a fault?
A block of rock below the plane of a fault is known as the hanging wall. It is the rock mass that is located above the fault plane and typically moves downward relative to the footwall during fault movement.
A fold in a rock that bends downward?
That type of fault is known as Synclinal fault.
What is released when rock moves along a fault?
Seismic waves are released when rock moves along a fault. These waves are the ones that cause earthquakes.
What is the hanging wall of a fault?
The hanging wall is the block of rock located above the fault plane. It moves downward in a normal fault and upward in a reverse fault during faulting events. It is named "hanging" because in underground mining, it appears to hang over the miners' heads.
When the rock of the fault surface Moves down relative to the rock below the fault surface what kind of fault forms?
This is described as a normal fault.
