“reverse faulting” because the block above a fault moves up with respect to the block below the fault. Reverse faulting is common in areas affected by compressional forces, like convergent plate boundaries where two lithospheric plates are moving together or colliding (Table 1). Convergent zones are associated with mountain ranges from ...
the two outer blocks. This is called “reverse faulting” (or thrust faulting) when the block above a fault moves up with respect to the block below the fault. Reverse faulting is common in areas affected by compressional forces, like convergent plate boundaries where two lithospheric plates are moving together or colliding (Table 1).
What three different types of movement can happen between plates at their boundaries? We refer to plate boundaries as constructive or destructive . Boundaries at which continental and oceanic crust converge are called _________________.
As students become aware of plate movements, they begin to identify patterns that set the stage for deeper understanding of a very complex topic. The activity uses a simple “Where’s Waldo” approach to identify tectonic symbols on a laminated World Plate Tectonic map. Objectives.
find all types of fault movement associated with each type of plate boundary. Normal faults are often associated with divergent (tensional) boundaries. Thrust faults are often associated with convergent (compressional) boundaries. Strike-slip faults are often associated with transform (sliding) boundaries. 2. Ask the following questions:
Model types of plate boundaries showing the dominant topographic and geological features, including: (ACSES006) • divergent boundaries: rift valley, mid-ocean ridge, normal and transform faults, • convergent boundaries: mountain range, trench, reverse faults and folds. Lesson Activities
A reverse fault is one in which an upper block of rock slides over a lower block which is separated from it by the fault. A low-angle reverse fault is called a thrust fault. An example includes the Himalaya Mountains where the Indian Plate is pushing into the Eurasian Plate. Strike-slip fault is a fault along which motion is mostly in a
