When working a tabular ore body the miner stood with the footwall under his feet and with the hanging wall above him.
Hanging wall moves upward shallow.
During an earthquake if a footwall slides upward relative to a hanging wall as shown in the figure below the fault is termed a fault.
If during an earthquake a hanging wall slides upward relative to a footwall the fault is termed if the fault is shallow much closer to horizontal than vetical.
In a fault the fault plane is less than 35 from horizontal and the hanging wall block moves upward relative to the footwall block.
Hanging wall down footwall up.
With compressional forces the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall.
Boundaries of metamorphic core complexes.
Reverse shear stress at sufficient depth within a fault plane can induce ductile shear forming a fine grained metamorphic rock named.
This type of fault is referred to as what.
Hanging wall up footwall down.
Thrust faults are reverse faults that dip less than 45.
Together normal and reverse faults are called dip slip faults because the movement on them occurs along the dip direction either down or up respectively.
The fault plane is greater than 35 from horizontal and the hanging wall block moves upward relative to the footwall block shear stress at sufficient depth within a fault plane can induce ductile shear forming a fine grained metamorphic rock named.
They are common at convergent boundaries.
The hanging wall occurs above the fault plane and the footwall occurs below it.
Basin and range region.
The hanging wall moves up and over the footwall.
Zones of crustal extension.
In a fault the fault plane is greater than 35 from horizontal and the hanging wall block moves upward relative to the footwall block.
This terminology comes from mining.
These are often found in intensely deformed mountain belts.
Low angle normal fault footwall gneiss hanging wall shallow crust rocks.
Thrust faults with a very low angle of dip and a very large total displacement are called overthrusts or detachments.
Edges of horsts and grabens.
Footwall lies to the left of the hanging wall 55.
Hanging wall and footwall.
Reverse faults form when the hanging wall moves up.
Hanging wall lies vertically above the footwall b.
Footwall lies vertically above the hanging wall c.
