Fault Types Explained
Discover the distinctions between reverse and normal faults, where one rock moves up while the other moves down, shaping our planet's landscape. Reverse faults, associated with compressional forces, lead to deeper and more powerful earthquakes, whereas normal faults, driven by tensional forces, typically result in shallower, smaller quakes. Understanding these tectonic movements reveals the dynamic nature of Earth's crust and the forces at play beneath our feet.In this clip
