Process when rocks change shape under pressure.

Process when the rocks break apart or erode.

Process of when rocks melt away.

What occurs during folding?

When rock layer bend under stress.

When the rocks form and create a landslide.

When the rock layers combine to create a mountain.

What happens in strike slip faults?

Fault blocks move past each other horizontally.

Fault blocks move past each other vertically.

The faults do move but not enough to cause anything.

What happens in a normal fault?

The faults move in a normal way (down) due to gravity.

The faults move apart and completely separate.

The faults move side to side because of pressure.

The faults do not move because they are normal faults.

What happens in reverse faults?

The hanging blocks move upward relative to the footwall.

The blocks in the fault both move downward.

The fault causes a reaction that rises up and creates a mountain.

Nothing happens with the blocks except that they move sideways a little.

What is the Strike and Dip symbol showing?

N 10 W overturned bed dipping 63

What type of fault is this? (The hanging wall moved down relative to the foot wall)

normal fault which usually occurs from tension

normal fault which usually occurs as a result of compression.
