Hanging Wall Rises Relative To The Footwall

Horst natural hot water on earth s surface containing many minerals 7.

Hanging wall rises relative to the footwall.

Reverse faults indicate compressive shortening of the crust. A normal fault occurs when the crust is extended. The hanging wall drops relative to the footwall reverse fault fault that occurs when two tectonic plates collide. Hot spring on rolling hills this a dip between hills 4.

Alternatively such a fault can be called an extensional fault. A reverse fault is the opposite of a normal fault the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall. Fault that occurs when two tectonic plates collide. Volcanic neck break between rocks where a hanging wall rises relative to a footwall 5.

If the hanging wall rises relative to the footwall you have a reverse fault. Reverse faults occur in areas undergoing compression squishing. The terminology of normal and reverse comes from coal mining in england where normal faults are the most common. The dip of a reverse fault is relatively steep greater than 45.

The hanging wall rises relative to the footwall. The hanging wall drops relative to the footwall. Eruption tends to be very explosive. Fault that occurs when two tectonic plates collide.

The hanging wall rises relative to the footwall. Fault that occurs when two tectonic plates are moving apart from each other. Another type of fault is the thrust fault where ground on one side of the fault moves up and over adjacent ground. Volcanic flow that contains a high concentration of gases ash and small rocks.

The hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall. Cliff like landform created by a normal fault. Syncline underwater volcano whose top is eroded flat by waves 3. This fault occurs when a hanging wall block has risen relative to its footwall block.

Fault that occurs when two tectonic plates collide. Fault that occurs when two tectonic plates are moving apart from each other. 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. The hanging wall rises relative to the footwall. Seamount underwater volcano that never reaches above sea level 2. The hanging wall drops relative to the footwall.

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. Reverse faults occur in areas undergoing compression squishing. Caldera magma that filled the central vent that remains after the volcano has eroded 6. Magma that has a high viscosity and high silica and gas content.

Fault that occurs when two tectonic plates are moving apart from each other.
