What is the definition of a hanging wall?
The hanging wall is the block of rock that lies above an inclined fault plane or dip in the Earth's crust. It moves down relative to the footwall during faulting or mining activities.
The hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall in?
a normal fault, which is caused by tensional forces pulling apart the Earth's crust. This movement results in the hanging wall dropping relative to the footwall, creating a sloping fault plane.
A picture hanging on the wall has what energy?
It is higher from ground thus it contain potential energy.
What fault has the hanging wall moving up to the foot wall?
Answer : Normal Fault Explanation : Normal fault is the cliche kinds of fault.It forms when rock above an inclined fracture plane moves downward, sliding along the rock on the other side of the fracture.
Does a picture hanging on the wall have kinetic energy?
No, a picture hanging on the wall does not have kinetic energy because it is not in motion. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion.
What are hanging walls that moves down?
In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall.
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.
How do the hanging wall and footwall move in a lateral fault?
In a lateral fault, the hanging wall moves horizontally in relation to the footwall. This type of fault occurs when the blocks of rock on either side of the fault move horizontally past each other. The hanging wall moves in the direction of the fault line, while the footwall remains relatively stationary.
In A Blank Fault The Hanging Wall Moves Up Relative To The Footwall?
In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, whereas in a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
In a hanging fault the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall?
thrust
When a hanging wall moves up to the footwall it is a?
reverse fault. but that is when the foot wall moves down, the hanging wall moves up. in a strike-slip fault, they slide past each other, the foot wall and hanging wall are not there because it has to be like this to be a reverse or normal fault: hanging wall ----------foot wall ----------- in this diagram, the foot wall has moved down making the hanging wall move up to form a reverse fault. remember this on tests: the hanging wall is always above the fault line: /hanging wall above foot wall below / /
Is a hanging wall the same as a footwall?
No, a hanging wall and a footwall are not the same in geology. The hanging wall is the block of rock above a fault line that moves down relative to the footwall, which is the block of rock below the fault line that moves up.
What is it when something occurs when the hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall?
No
What is the difference between a hanging wall and a foot wall?
In geology, the hanging wall refers to the rock layer above a fault plane, while the footwall refers to the rock layer below the fault plane. The hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall in a normal fault, whereas in a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
When the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall is it a fault.?
Thrust
What occurs when the hanging wall moves relative to the footwall?
A normal fault.
When the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall it is a fault .?
Thrust
