What are the 3 types of stress that can cause faults

• Tensile force
• Bending stress
• Rotational stress
• together -compression

  apart-tennsion

  slide past-shearing

The_____lies above in a fault and you would have to hang from it.

• The hanging wall

• basement
• floor
• roof
• wall

The_____lies below in a fault and you would have to stand on it

• foot wall

• roof
• hill
• ceiling

What is a normal fault

• caused by tension and hanging wall goes down

• A normal fault is a type of fault that does not involve any vertical movement.
• A normal fault occurs due to compressional forces.
• A normal fault is where the footwall moves down relative to the hanging wall.

what is a reverse fault caused by

• compression and the hanging wall goes up

• Magnetic forces in the Earth's core.
• Shear forces along fault lines.
• Tensional forces in the Earth's crust.

what cause a strike slip fault

• Vertical compression of tectonic plates.
• shearing and has very little up and down movement

• Tension from volcanic activity.
• Rotational forces from earthquakes.

what is a syncline

• A syncline is a type of sedimentary rock.
• A syncline is an upward-curving fold in rock layers.
• are folds that bend downwards

• A syncline is a geological feature found only in mountains.

_____are folds that bend up and create an arch

• Basins
• Faults
• Synclines
• Anticlines

The__________ is the spot below earth's surface where the rocks that was under stress slipped and caused an earthquake

• focus
• fault line
• magnitude
• epicenter

The_________is the center of the earthquake on earth's surface

• hypocenter
• epicenter
• fault line
• seismic wave
