Faults

Which of the following describes a normal fault?

• both blocks slide past another

• both blocks of rock move upward

• one block of rock does not move while the other moves upward

• one block of rock does not move while the other moves downward

Which of the following refers to the type of fault in which two blocks slide horizontally past each other in the opposite direction?

• strike-slip fault

• reverse fault

• normal fault

• landslide

Which of the following types of faults is shown in the picture?

• strike-slip fault

• reverse fault

• normal fault

• lateral fault

How can you relate fault movements with earthquakes?

• Every time there is an earthquake this all due to fault movements.

• Every time there is an earthquake, rock layers move causing faults to move as well.

• Every time fault moves and friction between rocks is overcome this will result in an earthquake.

• Every time fault moves even though friction between rocks has not overcome, this will result in an earthquake.

In which direction the block of rock layer will move if it shows reverse fault?

• upward

• to the left

• to the right

• downward

Why do earthquakes occur?

• The crust suddenly moves as Earth rotates around its axis.

• The Earth is attracted by a nearby planet

• The Earth is suddenly hit by a meteor.

• The fault suddenly moves.
