![Page 14: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Guide For Reading: How does stress forces affect rock?
• The three kinds of forces that affect rock are:
• Shearing – The rocks break and slip apart
• Tension– The rock stretches and becomes thin in the
middle
• Compression– The rock squeezes until it folds or breaks
• These stresses work over millions of years to change the shape and volume of rock
![Page 15: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Faults
• A break in the Earth’s crust where slabs of rock slip past each other
• Faults occur when enough stress builds up in rock
• Rocks on both sides of the fault can move up or down, or sideways
![Page 16: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Strike-Slip Faults
• A type of fault where rocks on either side move past each other sideways with little up-or down motion.
• Shearing causes these types of faults
![Page 17: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Normal Faults
• A type of fault where the hanging wall slides downward
• Tension forces cause normal faults
![Page 18: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Hanging Wall & Footwall
• Hanging wall: The block of rock that forms the upper half of a fault
• Footwall: The block of rock that forms the lower half of a fault
![Page 19: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Reverse Faults
• A type of fault where the hanging wall slides up
• Compression forces cause reverse faults
![Page 20: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Figure 5: Which half of the reverse fault slid up and across to form this mountain, hanging wall or the footwall? Explain.
• The hanging wall slipped up and across. If the footwall had moved up, the fault would be called a normal fault
![Page 22: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Guide For Reading: Why do faults form and where do they occur?
• Faults usually occur along plate boundaries, where the forces of plate motion compress, pull, or shear the crust so much that the crust breaks
![Page 23: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Checkpoint: What are the three types of fault? What force of deformation produce each?• Strike-slip faults

![Page 24: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What is friction?
• A force that opposes the motion of one surface as it moves across another surface
![Page 25: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Friction exists because…
• surfaces are not perfectly smooth.
![Page 26: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Describe what occurs when the friction along a fault line is low.
• The rocks on both sides of the fault slide by each other without much sticking
![Page 27: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Describe what occurs when the friction along a fault line is moderate.
• The sides of the fault jam together
• From time to time they jerk free
• Small earthquakes occur
![Page 28: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Describe what occurs when the friction along a fault line is high.
• Both sides of the fault lock together and do not move
• The stress increases until it is strong enough to overcome the force of friction
• Larger and/or more frequent earthquakes will occur
![Page 29: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The San Andreas fault in California is a transform boundary that contains ___ stress.
• high
![Page 30: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Fault-Block Mountain
• A mountain that forms where a normal fault uplifts a block of rock
![Page 31: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
How does the process of a fault-block mountain begin?
• Where two plates move away from each other, tension forces create many normal faults
• When two of these normal faults form parallel to each other, a block of rock is left lying between them
• As the hanging wall of each normal fault slips downward, the block in between moves upward
• When a block of rock lying between two normal faults slides downward, a valley forms
![Page 32: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Folds
• A bend in rock that forms where part of Earth’s crust is compressed
![Page 33: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
How does the compression of two plates cause an earthquake?
• The collisions of two plates can cause compression and folding of the crust
• Such plate collisions also lead to earthquakes, because folding rock can fracture and produce faults
![Page 34: Earthquakes Earth’s Crust In Motion Guide For Reading How does stress forces affect rock? Why do faults form and where do they occur? How does movement.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bacbc3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
