What else can I help you with?
What is a fault that is formed when compression causes the hanging wall to move over the foot wall is a?
This is called a reverse or thrust fault.
A what fault moves because it is under compression?
A reverse fault moves because it is under compression. The dip of a reverse fault is relatively steep, greater than 45-degrees.
What fault with a shallow angle is a thrust fault?
Reverse
What type of FAULT is the result of compression forces?
a reverse fault
What does reverse fault produce?
The hanging wall moves up relative to the foot wall. These happen when tectonic forces push rocks together. It is caused by compression.
When rocks are compressed a fault may form?
A reverse fault, my friend.
Type of fault that may form when rocks are compressed?
A reverse fault may form when rocks are compressed.
What is the opposite of a reverse fault?
A normal fault is the opposite of a reverse fault.
The rocks above a what fault are forced up and over below the fault?
A reverse fault is formed here
What fault occurs at a convergent boundary.?
A reverse fault
What type of fault is likely to form in an area where rock layer has been folded?
Probably reverse fault because folding is the result of compressional stres and reverse faults are caused by compression
What fault is made when compression pushes rocks together?
When compression pushes rocks together, faults form when the stress exceeds the strength of the rocks, causing them to break and push against each other. These fault zones can be areas of high seismic activity as the rocks continue to be pushed and undergo deformation.
By what type of fault were the sierra mountains formed?
Normal fault, i believe is true.
What is a fault that is formed when compression causes the hanging wall to move over the foot wall is a?
This is called a reverse or thrust fault.
Which type of fault occurs when rocks are pushed together as they meet?
These will form reverse or thrust faults.
What are the three faults in scienceNomal Fault Reverse fault and?
normal reverse strike-slip
The hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall in a?
Reverse Fault
