Firlakuza [10]3 years ago

Explanation:

A fault is a product of brittle deformation in  which a displacement occurs within the earth.

A normal and reverse fault both have an hanging wall and a foot wall.

  • In a normal fault, the footwall moves upward and the hanging wall moves downward thereby causing extension.
  • In a reverse fault, the footwall moves downward and the hanging wall moves upward thereby causing shortening.
  • The footwall is the block on a side of the fault surface where a miner can stand whereas the hanging wall is the block on the other side.

What is the difference between a fracture zone and transform fault? A transform fault is a crack, but a fracture zone is a hole
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

A "transform fault" is a fault line where two tectonic plates slide against each-other. Not all faults are transform faults.  Some plates separate and allow magma to seep up and like a scab, creating new ground (these are called divergent faults.)  Other faults, such as convergentfaults, occur when two plates smush into each-other and one is forced below the other where it heats up and is eventually destroyed. And the fracture zone is thus the junction between oceanic crustal regions of different ages.
