What else can I help you with?
What is a fault that is formed when compression causes the hanging wall to move over the foot wall is a?
This is called a reverse or thrust fault.
What fault with a shallow angle is a thrust fault?
Reverse
The San Andreas fault in California is an example of a reverse thrust fault.?
False
How does the movement of the crust along a thrust fault differ from that along a normal fault?
The movement of the crust along a thrust fault is usually a reverse movement unlike the movement along a normal fault.
When compression pushes rocks together it creates what type of fault?
When compression pushes rocks together, it creates a reverse fault. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compression forces pushing the rocks together.
What is a fault that is formed when compression causes the hanging wall to move over the foot wall is a?
This is called a reverse or thrust fault.
What fault with a shallow angle is a thrust fault?
Reverse
Is a thrust fault the same as normal fault?
No. A thrust fault is a reverse fault with a dip angle of less than 45 degrees.
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.
Is The San Andreas fault in California is an example of a reverse thrust fault?
False
What are 4 kinds of faults?
The normal fault, the thrust fault, the transcurrent fault , and the reverse fault.
The San Andreas fault in California is an example of a reverse thrust fault?
False
The San Andreas fault in California is an example of a reverse thrust fault.?
False
Is The San Andreas fault in California an example of a reverse thrust fault.?
False
Can a thrust fault be referred to as a dip slip fault?
Yes. Both thrust (reverse) and normal faults are dip-slip faults.
What stress causes a fault?
In a reverse fault the maximum principal stress is horizontal, compression causes reverse (thrust) faults.
A thrust fault is a what fault with a shallow angle?
A thrust fault is a reverse fault with a shallow angle. It occurs when compressional forces cause the hanging wall to move up and over the footwall along a low-angle fault plane. Thrust faults are common in areas undergoing mountain-building processes.
