What type of fault will cause the hanging wall to move down
relative to the foot wall
Normal Fault
Rubbing two pieces of rock together causes this kind of deformation
Shearing
Hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall in a ________fault
Reverse
Rock bending into layers
Folding
Landmasses increasing in elevation over time
Rising of landmasses
Type of mountain formed by blocks of rocks uplifted by normal fault.
Fault-block
Break or crack along which rocks move
Fault
Makes up the Earth’s landmasses
Continental
Deformation that is a trash compactor
Compression
Block of rock above the fault
Hanging wall
When compression causes the hanging wall to slide over foot wall
Thrust fault
Layers of rock that form an arch shape
Anticline
Rock under this type of stress becomes thinner in the middle than at the ends
Tension
Formed when fluid collects beneath the Earth surface
Domes
Rocks undergo ____ they slowly change shape and volume
Stress
Foot wall is the block of rock that is _____ the fault.
Below
Floating crust exerts a downward force and the mantle exerts upward force is called _______
Isostasy
Million tons of sediment deposited into one area but the water level remains the same is called _____
Sinking of landmasses
Average depth of oceanic crust
8 kilometers
Causes rocks to break, tilt, and fold under stress
movement
Breaking, tilting, and folding of rocks
Deformation
Four factors that determine if a rock will fold or fault
Temperature
Pressure
Rock type
Stress
