What type of fault causes the land to move downward?
In a normal fault the hanging wall moves downward. With this type of fault, the hanging wall also shifts horizontally away from the fault line.
What type of fault causes land to move downward?
Normal fault. The fault itself does not cause the sinking but is part or an effectof the process. The sunken block between two faults is called a "graben".
What fault occurs when tectonic plates pull apart from one another and tensional stress is placed on rock layers?
A fault called a normal fault occurs when tectonic plates pull apart and tensional stress causes the rock layers to break and move along the fault line. In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to the extensional forces acting on the rocks.
In what direction do rocks above anormal fault surface moves?
In a reverse fault, compression (plates crashing together) causes the hanging wall to move up. In a normal fault, tension ( plates pulling apart) causes the footwall to push up.

What type of fault causes mountains?
normal fault
What fault motion was the Kobe Japan Earthquake?
it was a normal
What types of plate motion produces a normal fault?
Normal faults are primarily produced by extensional plate motion, where tectonic plates move away from each other. This occurs in regions such as mid-ocean ridges or continental rift zones, where the crust is being pulled apart. As the tension increases, it causes the hanging wall to drop relative to the footwall, creating a normal fault.
Which type of fault cause a fault-block mountain to form?
A normal fault causes a fault-block mountain to form. In a normal fault, one block of rock moves downward relative to the other, creating a step-like feature. Over time, repeated movements along the fault can uplift and deform the crust, leading to the formation of fault-block mountains.
What type of force causes a normal fault to form?
Tensional stress from divergent plate boundaries causes a normal fault to form. This stress pulls rocks apart along a fault line, causing the hanging wall to drop relative to the footwall.
What type of stress causes stretching of the land?
tension (Dip-Slip Normal fault)
What type of fault causes the land to move downward?
In a normal fault the hanging wall moves downward. With this type of fault, the hanging wall also shifts horizontally away from the fault line.

What type of fault causes land to move downward?
Normal fault. The fault itself does not cause the sinking but is part or an effectof the process. The sunken block between two faults is called a "graben".
Is the San Andreas Fault a normal fault?
No, the San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip fault, not a normal fault.
What fault occurs when tectonic plates pull apart from one another and tensional stress is placed on rock layers?
A fault called a normal fault occurs when tectonic plates pull apart and tensional stress causes the rock layers to break and move along the fault line. In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to the extensional forces acting on the rocks.
