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
When compression pushes rocks together it creates what type of fault?
When compression pushes rocks together, it creates a reverse fault. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compression forces pushing the rocks together.
What type of landform is the rocky mountains?
reverse fault
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 landform in Texas is the Balcones?
It is a fault.
What Types of landforms made by reverse faults?
Reverse faults create landforms such as thrust faults, fault scarps, and fold mountains. Thrust faults are characterized by large sheets of rock moving over one another, leading to the uplifting of landforms. Fault scarps are steep cliffs formed as a result of vertical displacement along the fault. Fold mountains are created by the compression and uplift of rock layers along a reverse fault, resulting in long mountain ranges with folded and contorted rock formations.
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.
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
Name three different kinds of faults?
three kinds of faults are normal fault, reverse fault, and strike-slip fault.
