Which type of fault involves lateral movement?

Elastic deformation is a type of reversible strain

Orogenesis only occurs in continental collisions

There are four types of stress on rocks: compressional, uniform, tensional and...

Deformation of rocks is caused by stress

Stress is the response of the rock as a result of strain

Ductile deformation is also reversible

Reverse faults are a result of shortening of the crust

Brittle deformation will mostly occur in the upper part of the crust

In mountain ranges, deformation of rocks at 200-1200 °C will cause...

Joints, faults and veins are examples of...

Which factors control whether rocks 'fracture' (brittle deformation) or 'flow' (ductile deformation)?

At 1200-1500 °C, rocks will...

What is orogenesis?

Upright, inclined, overturned and recumbent all refer to...

A sinistral fault is a left-lateral fault

In faults, the hanging wall is the wall above the fault line
