The terminology of normal and reverse comes from coal mining in england where normal faults are the most common.
Hanging wall rises relative to the footwall.
Volcanic neck break between rocks where a hanging wall rises relative to a footwall 5.
Reverse faults if the hanging wall rises relative to the footwall.
If the hanging wall rises relative to the footwall you have a reverse fault.
The hanging wall rises relative to the footwall.
Cliff like landform created by a normal fault.
Graben a raised footwall block between normal fault creates.
If you imagine undoing the motion of a reverse fault you will undo the compression and thus lengthen the horizontal distance between two points on either side of the fault.
This fault occurs when a hanging wall block has risen relative to its footwall block.
The hanging wall drops relative to the footwall reverse fault fault that occurs when two tectonic plates collide.
Caldera magma that filled the central vent that remains after the volcano has eroded 6.
Reverse faults indicate compressive shortening of the crust.
The hanging wall rises relative to the footwall.
Magma that has a high viscosity and high silica and gas content.
Horst natural hot water on earth s surface containing many minerals 7.
Fault that occurs when two tectonic plates collide.
The hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall.
Hot spring on rolling hills this a dip between hills 4.
If the hanging wall rises relative to the footwall you have a reverse fault.
Syncline underwater volcano whose top is eroded flat by waves 3.
Reverse faults occur in areas undergoing compression squishing.
The dip of a reverse fault is relatively steep greater than 45.
Volcanic flow that contains a high concentration of gases ash and small rocks.
Fault that occurs when two tectonic plates collide.
Seamount underwater volcano that never reaches above sea level 2.
Reverse faults occur in areas undergoing compression squishing.
Thrust fault a dip slip fault in which the upper.
Fault that occurs when two tectonic plates collide.
The hanging wall drops relative to the footwall.
Another type of fault is the thrust fault where ground on one side of the fault moves up and over adjacent ground.
Fault that occurs when two tectonic plates are moving apart from each other.
A normal fault occurs when the crust is extended.
The hanging wall rises relative to the footwall.
Fault that occurs when two tectonic plates are moving apart from each other.
The hanging wall drops relative to the footwall.
A reverse fault is the opposite of a normal fault the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
Alternatively such a fault can be called an extensional fault.
Cliff like landform created by a normal fault.
