Earthquake Faults

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

• fracture
• fault
• joint

• normal fault
• reverse fault
• strike-slip fault

A fault caused by rocks moving together

• normal fault
• reverse fault
• slip strike fault

The cat is standing on the...

• foot wall
• hanging wall
• left
• weirdest elevator ever

Squeezing rock until it breaks is what stress?

• tension
• compression
• shearing

Stretching rock so it becomes thinner in the middle is what kind of stress?

• tension
• compression
• shearing

The type of stress that squeezes and shortens a body is __

• compression.
• tension.
• shear.
• deposition.

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

• strike-slip
• normal
• reverse

• normal fault
• reverse fault
• strike-slip fault

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

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