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.
Does the part of a normal fault that lies on top is called a reverse wall?
No, the part of a normal fault that lies on top is called the hanging wall. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall is thrust over the footwall, which is the opposite of what occurs in a normal fault.
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.
What is the hanging wall moves up relative to the foot wall it is a?
This is a reverse fault, also known as a thrust fault. Reverse faults are caused by compressional forces in the Earth's crust, leading to the hanging wall moving up relative to the foot wall. This type of fault is often associated with mountain-building processes.
Is it true that normal and reverse faults are at an angle?
Yes, normal and reverse faults are typically at an angle to the Earth's surface. Normal faults have a steep angle and occur in areas of extension, where the hanging wall drops down. Reverse faults have a gentler angle and occur in areas of compression, where the hanging wall moves up.
How are normal and reverse faults differ?
Normal faults are where the hanging wall drops in relation to the foot wall where as with the reverse fault the hanging wall is pushed higher over the foot wall.
In a reverse fault where does the hanging wall move relative of the foot wall?
thrust
The hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall in a?
Reverse Fault
When a hanging wall moves up to the footwall it is a?
reverse fault. but that is when the foot wall moves down, the hanging wall moves up. in a strike-slip fault, they slide past each other, the foot wall and hanging wall are not there because it has to be like this to be a reverse or normal fault: hanging wall ----------foot wall ----------- in this diagram, the foot wall has moved down making the hanging wall move up to form a reverse fault. remember this on tests: the hanging wall is always above the fault line: /hanging wall above foot wall below / /
How do reverse faults move?
reverse faults move from compression when the hanging wall moves up
What is a Reverse faults?
A reverse fault is a fault in which the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
When compression causes a hanging wall to move over a foot wall it is what kind of fault?
Reverse
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.
When a fault is not vertical hanging wall and a are formed?
a reverse fault
When a fault is not vertical a hanging wall and a what is formed?
a reverse fault
Does the part of a normal fault that lies on top is called a reverse wall?
No, the part of a normal fault that lies on top is called the hanging wall. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall is thrust over the footwall, which is the opposite of what occurs in a normal fault.
Difference between normal fault and reverse fault?
The movement of the Hanging wall in the normal fault downward with the gravity whereas in the Reverse fault the hanging wall moved upward against the gravity
