Differences between a fault and a fold?
Folds are the when the rock layers bend. Faults are breaks in the rock layers. Folds are called anticlines and synclines. Faults are called reverse faults, normal faults, or strike-slip faults.
How many faults does the US have?
OK!over 99 active faults!
What feature allows magma to move through the crust?
id say faults the answer is faults
What group of minerals form along faults?
vein minerals form between faults.
Are faults caused by tension?
faults are caused by the plates under neath earth crashing together and/or parting
How would you describe jtuzo Wilson's theory?
Before 1965, geologists were unable to explain the abrupt disappearance of transcurrent faults in crustal rocks. Wilson explained the phenomenon with his suggestion that the vanishing faults could be explained by the presence of zones of contraction and expansion in the crustal bedrock. He named these "disappearing" faults transform faults.
What most effectively outlines the edges of the lithospheric plates?
The boundaries between lithospheric plates are most effectively outlined by features such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the distribution of mountain ranges. These boundaries can be further classified into divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries based on the type of plate movement occurring.
What is the difintions of Rift Valley?
Rift Valley:A valley that has developed along a rift, especially one bounded by normal faults in an area of lithospheric thinning.
What are the three major types of faults are normal reverse and syncline.?
The three major types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Synclines are not faults but rather geological structures that describe the folding of rock layers.
Describe the three types of plate motion and the faults that are characteristic of each type of motion?
Describe the three types of plate motion and the faults that are characteristic of each type of motion.
Where rift valleys form?
A rift valley forms when the lithospheric stretches, tension stress occurs, causing rock to pull apart, break, and form normal faults.
What could be the reason for the presence or absence of metallic deposits in your area?
You can download the detailed map of trenches,faults and Volcanoes in the Philippines.
An earthquake is related to a crack in the crust called a?
fault
What causes lithospheric plates to build up pressure and finally give along transform faults?
Lithospheric plates build up pressure due to the movement of the underlying mantle causing stress to accumulate along transform faults. The build-up of pressure is a result of the friction and resistance between adjacent plates. When this pressure exceeds the strength of the rocks, it causes the plates to suddenly slip past each other, resulting in an earthquake along a transform fault.
How do you describe the type of movement that is expected in the future in the faults of the San Andreas system?
strike slip
What forms when the lithospheric plates rub against each other?
When lithospheric plates rub against each other, it can create earthquakes. The friction between the plates causes energy to build up until it is released in the form of seismic waves. This movement along plate boundaries can result in a variety of geologic features, such as faults or mountain ranges.
