NORFOLK, Va. — Fault lines are fractures or breaks in the Earth's crust where tectonic plates move past each other, often resulting in earthquakes. These geological features are classified into ...

The fault is marked by the cut in the cardboard. In a reverse fault, the rock above the fault moves up the slope of the fault (figure 5). Then ask them the same questions as those used in Group 1 ...

Part of the San Andreas Fault in southern California may be on shakier ground than previously thought.. The 800-mile-long San Andreas Fault is one of the more famous faults in the United States ...

If an earthquake were to occur and both the Durmid ladder structure and the San Andreas Fault collapsed, it would be felt across an area of 15 square miles, though the exact effects are difficult ...

A reverse is, well, just the reverse. An example of a normal fault is the 240-mile (150-kilometer) long Wasatch Fault underlying parts of Utah and Idaho, again caused by the Pacific plate driving ...

LAKE ISABELLA, Calif. - Many dams throughout the world, even recently constructed ones, are located on active faults. One such dam, located at the Corps-managed Lake Isabella, is considered at ...

The second is a reverse fault, where plates pushing against each other build compressional stress. This forces one plate to rise overtop of the other and the area is shortened.

The earthquake pulled the land apart by up to 10 feet, and raised the land on one side of the fault by as much as two meters. The earthquake shook New Zealand for two and a half minutes.

A reverse is, well, just the reverse. An example of a normal fault is the 150-mile-long (240-kilometer-long) Wasatch Fault underlying parts of Utah and Idaho, again caused by the Pacific plate ...
