What is the stress in rocks that pulls in opposite direction?

• tension

• compression

• shearing

What type of stress pushes rocks together?

• tension

• compression

• shearing

What type of stress causes rocks to slide past each other on a horizontal plane?

• shearing

• compression

• tension

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

• strike-slip
• normal
• reverse

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

• strike-slip
• normal
• reverse

Rock layers undergo stress when they are squeezed at convergent boundaries. This stress is called:

• compression
• combining

NGSS.HS-ESS1-5

Rock layers undergo stress when they are stretched apart at divergent boundaries. This stress is called:

• tightening
• tension

Tags

NGSS.HS-ESS2-1

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

• fracture
• fault
• joint

Tags

NGSS.MS-ESS3-2

A type of fault where rocks on either side move past each other sideways is called:

• normal fault
• reverse fault
• strike-slip fault

How does a reverse fault form?

• The hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall.

• Blocks slide past each other

• The hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall.
