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 motion causes normal fault?
a pulling motion causes a normal fault
Faulting and folding are both types of what-?
Crustal deformation. That is, when pieces of the Earth's crust change shape due to tectonic forces.
Which type of fault is likely to form in an area where rock layer have been folded?
Folding is usually the result of compressional stress. This may also cause thrust / reverse faults.
What type of fault causes mountains?
normal fault
What causes a gearbox fault warning on a Jaguar x-type?
Gearbox fault what is that
Type of stress that causes folding mountains?
Compressive stress causes folding mountains to form. This stress occurs when tectonic plates collide or converge, leading to the deformation and folding of rock layers, ultimately creating mountain ranges.
What type of fault is likely to form in an area where rock layer has been folded?
Probably reverse fault because folding is the result of compressional stres and reverse faults are caused by compression
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 stress causes stretching of the land?
tension (Dip-Slip Normal fault)
Which type of fault causes land to move downward?
A normal fault causes land to move downward due to tensional forces pulling the Earth's crust apart. This type of fault is commonly associated with divergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates are moving away from each other.
What fault causes rocks to become twisted and strained when they snag each other?
The fault type that causes rocks to become twisted and strained when they snag each other is a strike-slip fault. In a strike-slip fault, rocks on either side of the fault move horizontally past each other, leading to twisting and straining along the fault zone. This type of movement is typical in transform plate boundaries such as the San Andreas Fault in California.
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".

a pulling motion causes a normal fault
Which type of fault is likely to form in area where rock layer have been folded?
Folding is usually the result of compressional stress. This may also cause thrust / reverse faults.
Why folding and faulting is one of the main causes behind earthquakes?
earthquakes often occur near fold mountains because fold mountains are formed on the earth's fault lines ( invisble lines in the earth's crust) and earthquakes happen when two fault lines crash together.
