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.
If a fault occurs on an area where rock layers have folded what kind of fault will it be?
A fault that occurs on folded rock layers is likely to be a thrust fault, where one block of rock is pushed up and over the other. This type of fault is common in areas where horizontal compression forces have folded the rock layers.
What fault moves rock downward?
a normal fault
Is the fault older or younger the rock layer A Explain?
To determine whether the fault is older or younger than rock layer A, we can use the principle of cross-cutting relationships. If the fault cuts through rock layer A, it is younger than that layer, as it must have formed after the rock was deposited. Conversely, if rock layer A is found to be disrupted by the fault, then the fault is older. Therefore, examining the relationship between the fault and rock layer A is key to establishing their relative ages.
When rock layers break the resulting surface they break and slide on is a?
A Fault
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.
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.
What is the break in layers of rock?
Fault
When the rock above the fault surface moves down relative to the rock below fault surface what kind of fault forms?
This is described as a normal fault.
What do rock layers that break but do not move form?
A Fold (anticline or syncline) - but it is not a fault. A geological Fault is a break in the rock, with the rock on one side moved relative to that on the other..
If a fault occurs on an area where rock layers have folded what kind of fault will it be?
A fault that occurs on folded rock layers is likely to be a thrust fault, where one block of rock is pushed up and over the other. This type of fault is common in areas where horizontal compression forces have folded the rock layers.
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.
The block of rock below a fault is called what?
This is known as the foot wall of the fault.
What fault moves rock downward?
a normal fault
What is a block of rock above a fault?
A block of rock above a fault is called the hanging wall. In a fault, the hanging wall is the block of rock that is positioned above the fault plane, while the block below the fault is called the footwall.
What is falting rock?
Faulting is caused by stress in the rock layers, the stress can break and crack the rock causing a fault. There are two types of faults a normal fault and a reverse fault.
When the rock above the fault surface moves down relative to the rock below the surface what kind of fault forms?
This is described as a normal fault.
