Hanging Wall Rises Relative To The Footwall

Alternatively such a fault can be called an extensional fault.

Hanging wall rises relative to the footwall.

This fault occurs when a hanging wall block has risen relative to its footwall block. Volcanic flow that contains a high concentration of gases ash and small rocks. Cliff like landform created by a normal fault. Reverse faults occur in areas undergoing compression squishing.

If the hanging wall rises relative to the footwall you have a reverse fault. The 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.

Cliff like landform created by a normal fault. Seamount underwater volcano that never reaches above sea level 2. Fault that occurs when two tectonic plates collide. Fault that occurs when two tectonic plates are moving apart from each other.

Caldera magma that filled the central vent that remains after the volcano has eroded 6. If the hanging wall rises relative to the footwall you have a reverse fault. Magma that has a high viscosity and high silica and gas content. Eruption tends to be very explosive.

Reverse faults indicate compressive shortening of the crust. Syncline underwater volcano whose top is eroded flat by waves 3. The hanging wall drops relative to the footwall. Reverse faults occur in areas undergoing compression squishing.

The dip of a reverse fault is relatively steep greater than 45. Hot spring on rolling hills this a dip between hills 4. The hanging wall rises relative to the footwall. Fault that occurs when two tectonic plates collide.

Another type of fault is the thrust fault where ground on one side of the fault moves up and over adjacent ground. The hanging wall rises relative to the footwall. The terminology of normal and reverse comes from coal mining in england where normal faults are the most common. A reverse fault is the opposite of a normal fault the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.

The hanging wall drops relative to the footwall reverse fault fault that occurs when two tectonic plates collide. Fault that occurs when two tectonic plates collide. 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. Graben a raised footwall block between normal fault creates.

A normal fault occurs when the crust is extended. Horst natural hot water on earth s surface containing many minerals 7. Thrust fault a dip slip fault in which the upper. The hanging wall drops relative to the footwall.
