Earthquake Faults

The hanging wall slides up and over the footwall is what kind of fault?

• strike-slip
• normal
• reverse

What fault has little up or down motion?

• strike-slip
• normal
• reverse

When the hanging wall slips downward below the footwall, what kind of fault is it?

• strike-slip
• normal
• reverse

Which of these boundaries/stresses/faults all correctly go together?  Choose all that apply.

• normal, divergent, tension
• reverse, convergent, shearing
• strike-slip, transform, compression

The surface along which rock break and slide past each other is called a:

• fracture
• fault
• joint

How does a reverse fault form?

• The hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall.
• Compression thrusts the fault into reverse.
• Blocks slide past each other.
• The hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall.
