This type of faulting occurs in response to extension.
Type of fault where the hanging wall moves upward.
The hanging wall will slide upwards right.
A reverse fault is when.
Reverse folds have limbs that dip gently and the angle between the limbs is large.
A fault where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall is referred to as a fault.
This is caused by shear stress.
The terminology of normal and reverse comes from coal mining in england where normal faults are the most common.
When the hanging wall moves up in relative to the footwall it is called a fault.
There are three different types of faults normal faults reverse faults and strike slip faults.
Then there is also a strike slip fault which happens at a transform boundary.
What type of fault is shown here.
A dip slip fault in which the upper block above the fault plane moves up and over the lower block.
Fill in the blank 1.
You probably noticed that the blocks that move on either side of a reverse or normal fault slide up or down along a dipping fault surface.
A strike slip fault or a latteral fault moves in opposition of each other.
The dip of a reverse fault is relatively steep greater than 45.
Strike slip faults have a different type of movement than normal and reverse faults.
Describe three types of faults.
Occurs when the hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall reverse fault.
These usually occur when tectonic forces cause tension that pulls rocks apart.
Angular ridges formed by the differential erosion of inclined sedimentary strata are called hogbacks.
A reverse fault is the opposite of a normal fault the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
When the fault plane is vertical there is no hanging wall or footwall.
A is the type of fault that is produced when the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall.
In this fault the.
Any fault plane can be completely described with two measurements.
When the hanging wall moves down in relative to the footwall it is called a fault.
Its strike and its dip.
When movement along a fault is the reverse of what you would expect with normal gravity we call them reverse faults.
This type of faulting is common in areas of compression when the dip angle is shallow a reverse fault is often described as a thrust fault.
Where the fault plane is sloping as with normal and reverse faults the upper side is the hanging wall and the lower side is the footwall.
