Q

break or crack in Earth’s lithosphere
along which the rocks move.

20
Q

parts of a fault

A

footwall (block)
hanging wall (block)

21
Q

is the rock that is placed
on top of the fault.

A

footwall block

22
Q

is the rock that is below the fault.

A

hanging wall block

23
Q

moves in a fault

A

footwall block

24
Q

does not move in a fault

A

hanging wall block

25
types of fault
Normal Fault Reverse Fault Strike-Slip Fault
26
A rock is pulled apart by tension in Earth’s crust. Rock drops down as it breaks.
normal fault
27
Rock is forced upward as it is squeezed by compressional stress. A continental plate colliding with another continental plate
reverse fault
28
Rock is sheared (or cut) from sheer stress. Rocks on each side of the fault slip past each other as they break.
strike-slip fault
