PRESENTATION OUTLINE

REVERSE FAULT

A fault in which the hanging wall moves up to footwall

REVERSE FAULT

  • The hanging wall moves up to the footwall
  • The boundary that is like this is the "CONVERGENT BOUNDARY"
  • Moves due to compression stress

NORMAL FAULT

A fault in which the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall

NORMAL FAULT

  • Hanging wall moves down to footwall
  • The boundary that is most like this fault is "DIVERGENT BOUNDARY"
  • Moves due to tension
  • Divergent boundary

STRIKE-SLIP FAULT

  • ->
  • Moves due to stress
  • Transform boundary
  • A fault in which two blocks move past each other horizontally

CONVERGENT BOUNDARY

  • Oc,cc hit together & then the oc slides under into subduction zone
  • Two tectonic plates with cc collided they buckle and thicken pushing the cc upward
  • Two oceanic plates collide, one of the plates slide under the other as continental collusion

DIVERGENT BOUNDARY

  • Two tectonic plates move apart as they move apart magma rises to fill the gap
