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.
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.
Which fault would be found on divergent boundary?
A normal fault is typically found on a divergent boundary. This type of fault occurs as the Earth's crust is being pulled apart, causing one side to move downward relative to the other.
When the hanging wall of a fault slips downward with respect to the football the result is what?
When the hanging wall of a fault slips downward relative to the footwall, the result is a normal fault. This type of fault typically occurs in extensional tectonic settings, where the Earth's crust is being pulled apart. Normal faults are characterized by a vertical displacement, causing the hanging wall to move downwards, which can lead to the formation of rift valleys or basins.
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.
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.
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 force causes object to move downward?
The force that causes objects to move downward is gravity
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.
Heating the air below a paper bag causes the bag to move upward or downward?
downward
Is landslide the same thing as a fault?
No, a landslide is masses of land that has been crushed and is in a liquid-ish state and slides down the sides of mountains, ranges anywhere.. a fault is a line underground that when land masses move and hit the fault causes earthquakes.
What occurs when rocks above the fault surface move downward in relation to rocks below the fault surface?
This kind of fault is called a normal fault and is usually a sign of crustal extension.
What is the force that causes the box to move downward?
Gravity because it is pulling down the box
This type of fault occurs when rock moves downward at the fault line?
A normal fault occurs when rock is pulled apart, causing one block of rock to move downward relative to the other. This displacement is due to tensional forces acting on the earth's crust, causing the hanging wall to drop relative to the footwall along the fault plane.
What fault moves because of tension?
Normal faults move because of tension, which causes the hanging wall to move downward relative to the footwall. This type of faulting occurs in areas where the Earth's crust is being pulled apart, and can create features such as rift valleys and horst-and-graben structures.
How do cranks work?
if you put downward pressure on the handle it causes gears to move
When do rocks move past each other without upward or downward movement?
This is called a strike-slip fault.
