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.
How does the position of a hanging wall relative to a foot wall give evidence of the stress placed on a rock layer?
The position of the hanging wall relative to the foot wall indicates the type of fault and the stress acting on the rock layer. In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves downward relative to the foot wall, suggesting extensional stress that pulls rocks apart. Conversely, in a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves upward, indicating compressional stress that pushes rocks together. These movements reflect the geological forces shaping the Earth's crust.
Is a hanging wall the same as a footwall?
No, a hanging wall and a footwall are not the same in geology. The hanging wall is the block of rock above a fault line that moves down relative to the footwall, which is the block of rock below the fault line that moves up.
What is the difference of hanging wall and foot wall?
In geology, the hanging wall and foot wall are terms used to describe the two sides of a fault. The hanging wall is the block of rock that sits above the fault plane, while the foot wall is the block that lies below it. In a dip-slip fault, the movement of the hanging wall relative to the foot wall determines whether the fault is classified as normal or reverse. Essentially, if you were to stand in a mine or tunnel, the hanging wall would be the rock above your head, and the foot wall would be the ground beneath your feet.
What are the movements produced by the three types of faults?
-Normal Faults form when the hanging wall moves down. -Reverse Faults form when the hanging wall moves up. -Strike-Slip Faults have walls that moce sideways, instead of up or down.
What are hanging walls that moves down?
In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall.
What is it when something occurs when the hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall?
No
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.
In a reverse fault where does the hanging wall move relative of the foot wall?
thrust
What is the difference between a hanging wall and a foot wall?
In geology, the hanging wall refers to the rock layer above a fault plane, while the footwall refers to the rock layer below the fault plane. The hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall in a normal fault, whereas in a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
In normal fault what happens to the foot wall?
In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall. This results in the footwall being pushed up and becoming uplifted relative to the hanging wall.
In A Blank Fault The Hanging Wall Moves Up Relative To The Footwall?
In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, whereas in a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
In a hanging fault the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall?
thrust
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 / /
When the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall is it a fault.?
Thrust
What occurs when the hanging wall moves relative to the footwall?
A normal fault.
When the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall it is a fault .?
Thrust
