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
Is the fault-block created by two reverse faults?
No, a fault-block is not typically created by two reverse faults. Reverse faults involve the upward movement of rock layers, and when two reverse faults occur in close proximity, they can create a complex structure but do not directly form a fault-block. Fault-blocks are more commonly associated with normal faults, where blocks of the Earth's crust are pulled apart, resulting in sections that drop down relative to others. In summary, while reverse faults can influence the landscape, they do not create fault-blocks in the same manner as normal faults do.
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 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.
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 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.
By what type of fault were the sierra mountains formed?
Normal fault, i believe is true.
Which type of fault occurs when rocks are pushed together as they meet?
These will form reverse or thrust faults.
What is rock age order in reverse fault?
In a reverse fault, the oldest rocks will be at the bottom of the fault plane, while the youngest rocks will be at the top. This is because reverse faults form when compressional forces cause rocks to be pushed together and up, resulting in older rocks being thrust over younger ones.
What are the three faults in scienceNomal Fault Reverse fault and?
normal reverse strike-slip
