Which type of fault is the result of tension and why?
Normal Fault
Name of the fault type of fault description of how far the fault runs of Mt. St. Helens?
The fault type is a normal fault, called the Spirit Lake Fault, and it runs approximately 9 miles to the north of Mount St. Helens.
Is the Owens Valley a reverse fault?
Yes, the Owens Valley is formed by a type of reverse fault called a "thrust fault." This fault type occurs when compressional forces cause rocks to move upward and over each other at a low angle. The Sierra Nevada Mountains have been uplifted by this faulting process, creating the valley to the east.
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 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.

What type of fault is the rio grande rift valley?
normal fault
Is a thrust fault a normal fault?
No, a thrust fault is a type of reverse fault, where the hanging wall moves up and over the footwall. In contrast, a normal fault is a type of fault where the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall.
What type of fault is Shakespeare Bridge which was caused by northridge earthquake?
normal fault and reverse fault.
Which type of fault is the result of tension?
Normal faults are the result of tensile stresses.
What type of fault is found at Rio Grande rift valley?
it is a normal fault
What type of fault is responsible for creating sierra Nevada?
Normal fault, i believe is true.
What type of boundary does normal fault?
divergent boundarys
What type of fault implies extension?
A 'normal' fault implies extension, as opposed to a 'thrust' fault which implies compression.
