Which of the following is a type of fault where the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall?

• Normal Fault

• Reverse Fault

• Strike-Slip Fault

• Thrust Fault

What type of fault occurs when the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compressional forces?

• Normal Fault

• Reverse Fault

• Strike-Slip Fault

• Transform Fault

Which type of fault primarily involves horizontal movement rather than vertical displacement?

• Normal Fault

• Oblique Fault

• Reverse Fault

• Strike-Slip Fault

What is the main factor used to classify faults?

• The type of rock present in the area

• The depth of the earthquake it causes

• The presence of water along the fault line

• The angle of the fault plane and the direction of slip

How does a thrust fault differ from a typical reverse fault?

• Thrust faults occur only at mid-ocean ridges

• Thrust faults involve only horizontal movement

• Thrust faults have a steeper fault angle than reverse faults

• Thrust faults have a low-angle fault plane (less than 30 degrees)

What causes normal faults to form?

• Tension that pulls rock layers apart

• Shear stress that moves rocks horizontally

• Volcanic eruptions forcing rock displacement

• Compression that pushes rock layers together

If a fault has both vertical and horizontal movement, how is it classified?

• Normal Fault

• Oblique-Slip Fault

• Reverse Fault

• Strike-Slip Fault

What causes an earthquake to occur along a fault?

• The sudden release of stored energy due to rock movement

• The slow accumulation of magma beneath the Earth's crust

• The Earth's rotation causing stress on rock layers

• The cooling and shrinking of Earth's outer layers

Which type of fault is most commonly associated with horizontal movement?

• Normal Fault

• Reverse Fault

• Strike-Slip Fault

• Thrust Fault

Which type of fault movement is most responsible for generating earthquakes in the Philippines?

• Normal fault

• Oblique-slip fault

• Reverse (thrust) fault

• Strike-slip fault
