Question #3
How is jointing different from faulting?
A.
Jointing breaks and moves while faulting breaks without moving
B.
Faults break and move while joints break without moving
C.
Jointing is when rock attached while faulting is when rocks break

Hanging wall
B.
Strike slip
C.
Thrust
D.
Foot wall
E.
Detachment
Question #5
What plate boundary is a normal fault associated with?
A.
Convergent
B.
Divergent
C.
Passive margin
D.
Transform
Question #6
What is another name for a reverse fault?
A.
Strike slip
B.
Detachment
C.
Thrust
D.
Hanging wall

Question #7
What plate boundary is a reverse fault associated with?
A.
Divergent
B.
Convergent
C.
Passive margin
D.
Transform
Question #8
How is a left-lateral strike-slip fault different from a right-lateral strike-slip fault?
A.
In a left-lateral strike slip fault the motion is appears to be to the right and in a right lateral strike slip fault the motion is appears to be to the left
B.
In both faults the motion is to the right because right motion is dominant
C.
In a left-lateral strike slip fault the motion is to the left and in a right lateral strike slip fault the motion is to the right
D.
The motion is always right on one side and left on the opposite side so it depends where you are orientated to the fault
