ATTENDANCE CHECK
 AM I TRUE OR FALSE!!!!

1.Tension stress
creates a normal
fault.
 AM I TRUE OR FALSE!!!!

2.In reverse fault, hanging

wall moves down relative
to the fault wall block.
 AM I TRUE OR FALSE!!!!

3. There are hanging wall

and foot wall block on a
strike slip fault.
 AM I TRUE OR FALSE!!!!

4. Strike slip fault moves

vertically .
 AM I TRUE OR FALSE!!!!

5. Reverse fault forms

due to compression
force.

Along a normal fault, the block of
rock above the fault plane slides
down relative to the other block.
The rocks above the fault surface
move downward along with the rocks
below the fault surface.
 Tension forces
Tension: forces that
pull rocks apart

Tension stretches
rock

Creates a normal
fault
Reverse Fault
 Reverse Fault
The force pushing is called Compressio
Compression: forces that
push or squeeze rocks
together
Rock folds or breaks
Creates reverse faults
 REVERSE FAULT
Along a reverse fault, the block of rock above
the fault plane moves up relative to the other
block. Stress that presses rocks together
causes reverse faults. Compression creates a
reverse fault.
The rocks above the fault surface are forced
up and over the rocks that are below the fault
Shearing: forces that cause
rocks on either side of faults
to push in opposite
directions
Causes rock to break and
split apart
Creates strike-slip faults

This is a Strike Slip Fault

or a Transverse Fault
San Andres Fault
Indicates forces on the land
 Strike- Slip Fault
Along a strike-slip fault, blocks of rock move
sideways on either side of the fault plane. Stresses
that push blocks of rock horizontally . Shearing
forces create a strike slip fault. It has two types:
the right lateral and left lateral.
Rocks on both sides of the fault surface move past
one another without much upward or downward
movement.

1. It is a type of fault wherein the block of rock slides
down relative to the other block.
2. It is a force or a stress which can cause a reverse
fault.
3.. A type of fault wherein the block of rock
above the fault plane moves up relative to the
other block.
4.. A force or stress which can cause a normal
fault.
5. A type of fault as result of the
combination of shearing and compression
force.
