Fault
Fault allows the block that move up relative to the other.
- A fault is a crack or region of cracks that separates two rock blocks. The blocks might move in relation to one another due to flaws. This movement may happen suddenly, like an earthquake, or it may happen gradually, like creep. From a few millimetres to thousands of kilometres, faults can vary in length.
- Rocks are sliding past one another horizontally, with little to no vertical movement, according to strike-slip faults. The Anatolian and San Andreas faults are both strike-slip faults. Normal errors leave room. A valley forms in the crust as two blocks of crust separate.
- Normal faults are defined as faults that move normally under the influence of gravity. Compare the right image with the upper typical defect. One rocky block is pushed up relative to rock on the other side of a reverse fault.
- Reverse faults combine two crusts and push and thrust them vertically on top of one another, generally forming mountain ranges. The rift is produced when typical faults pull the crustal blocks apart.
