STRESSES
What type of GEOLOGICAL STRESS causes rocks to be pulled apart, resulting in lengthening and breaking apart?
TENSION STRESS
What type of PLATE MOVEMENT moves towards each other?
CONVERGENCE
What type of FAULT happens when the hanging wall plane moves downward relative to the footwall, and it occurs in divergent boundaries?
NORMAL FAULT
What type of FOLD is an upward fold?
Anticline
What type of GEOLOGICAL STRESS causes rocks to fold or fracture because it squeezes rocks together?
COMPRESSIONAL STRESS
What type of PLATE MOVEMENT pulls the plates apart?
DIVERGENCE
What type of FAULT occurs when the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall during the convergence of plate boundaries?
REVERSE FAULT
What type of FOLD is a downward fold?
Syncline
What type of GEOLOGICAL STRESS happens when forces slide past each other in opposite directions, resulting in slippage and translation?
SHEAR STRESS
What type of PLATE MOVEMENT moves the plates in Opposite direction?
TRANSFORM
What type of FAULT happens if the blocks in a transform boundary move sideward relative to each other?
STRIKE SLIP FAULT
What type of fold is a one-sided fold, where rock layers are inclined in one direction rather than forming an arch?
Monocline
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF ROCKS UNDERGO STRESS?
Rocks may undergo deformation wherein they change their shape, location, size, tilt, or break.
WHAT IS THE COMMON EFFECT OF THE MOVEMENT OF PLATES?
Earthquakes.
WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP OF FAULTS AND EARTHQUAKES?
Earthquakes usually happen within fault lines.
What type of stress or plate movement causes folds?
Convergence or Compressional stress.
