What else can I help you with?
What type of FAULT is the result of compression forces?
a reverse fault
What fault is caused by tension forces?
A normal fault.
What type of fault can result from horizontal shearing object plates?
Horizontal shearing can result in strike-slip faults, where two plates slide past each other horizontally. This type of fault is common along transform boundaries, such as the San Andreas Fault in California.
What is a fault formed due to tension on rocks called?
It is called a normal fault.
What is a reverse fault and how does it form?
A reverse fault is a type of fault where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compression forces in the Earth's crust. This type of fault is typically found in regions undergoing compression, such as at convergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates collide. Reverse faults are characterized by a steep fault plane and can result in uplift and mountain building.
Which type of fault is the result of tension forces?
A normal fault.
Which type of fault is the result of tension?
Normal faults are the result of tensile stresses.
What type of fault is tension associated with hanging wall?
the upper wall of an inclined fault
What type of fault usually occurs because tension?
normal
What type of FAULT is the result of compression forces?
a reverse fault
What type of fault moves because it is under tension?
A normal fault moves because of tension. In this type of fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to the stretching and pulling apart of the Earth's crust.
What type of fault move because its under tension?
Normal faults
Type of fault that may form when rocks are pulled apart due to tension?
Rocks being pulled apart are under tension. This is found at divergent plate boundaries. It is a tension fault.
Which type of fault is under tension?
Normal Thrust
Tension in earth crust can produce a normal fault which is?
A normal fault is a type of fault in which the hanging wall drops down relative to the footwall due to tensional forces in the Earth's crust. This type of fault is commonly associated with extensional tectonic settings, where the crust is being pulled apart.
What type of stress causes stretching of the land?
tension (Dip-Slip Normal fault)
What does a tension fault do?
A tension fault occurs when there is stretching or pulling apart of the Earth's crust, which can lead to earthquakes as the rock breaks under the stress. This type of fault is associated with tectonic plate movements and occurs along divergent plate boundaries.
