Fault Types and Movements

The video tutorial explains different types of faults, including normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults. It describes how these faults develop due to various stresses such as tensional, compressional, and shear stresses. The tutorial also covers the movements associated with each fault type, including vertical and horizontal displacements, and the resulting landforms like fault block mountains, basins, and offset streams. Animations and diagrams are used to illustrate these geological processes.

What is the primary movement direction in a normal fault?

• Diagonal

• Vertical

• Circular

• Horizontal

Which type of stress leads to the formation of a normal fault?

• Compressional stress

• Rotational stress

• Tensional stress

• Shear stress

Which type of fault is associated with the formation of tilted fault block mountains?

• Normal fault

• Reverse fault

• Strike-slip fault

• Thrust fault

What is the term for the down-dropped basins formed by normal faulting?

• Rift

• Horst

• Graben

• Scarp

What is a key characteristic of a reverse fault?

• The fault does not move

• The upthrown block overrides the downthrown block

• The fault plane is horizontal

• The fault plane is vertical

What type of stress causes a reverse fault to form?

• Compressional stress

• Shear stress

• Thermal stress

• Tensional stress

In a strike-slip fault, how do the blocks move relative to each other?

• Horizontally

• In a circular motion

• Diagonally

• Vertically

What is a common result of ongoing displacement along a strike-slip fault?

• Creation of valleys

• Formation of lakes

• Offset streams

• Formation of mountains

Which fault type is characterized by one block moving horizontally past another?

• Normal fault

• Reverse fault

• Strike-slip fault

• Thrust fault

What visual aid can help illustrate the formation of a groin and a Horst?

• Figure three

• Figure two

• Figure four

• Figure one
