What happens when a fault line rupture? What type of shear sense do dip slip faults have? What is a slip strike fault?

2.1.17 The epicenter may or may not be directly above the hypocenter. Seismic waves radiate outward from hypocenter US Array 1. Portable seismic array Faults 1. Normal faults 2. Reverse/thrust faults 3. Strike-slip faults Normal Fault: tensional forces. If we pull something apart Reverse/Thrust Fault: compressions forces. If we push something together Strike-slip Fault : shearing motion. Sliding past one another Stress builds up until rupture occurs at weak point. Australian/Pacific Plate Boundary 1. A lot of earthquakes occur b/c of the amount of faults Fault Rupture 1. We can have a series of events that can occur over long periods of time, but the biggest event is labeled the earthquake. 2. S
