Question
the image shows a type of stress. which type of fault occurs when rock is subjected to this type of stress? hanging normal reverse strike - slip
The image shows a type of stress where the forces are pulling apart (tensional stress). A normal fault occurs due to tensional stress. In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall. A hanging - wall is just a part of the fault structure, not a fault type. A reverse fault occurs due to compressional stress (forces pushing together). A strike - slip fault occurs due to shear stress (forces moving parallel to each other).
