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