Question

I need help with faults?
describe the following about the fault you select:

What type of fault it is
A description of how rock bodies are moving at the fault plane
The tectonic setting most likely associated with your fault (convergent, divergent, transform)
The type of stress rocks at a fault are under (tensional, compressional, etc.)
Any major populated areas near your fault and whether or not earthquakes are likely to occur at the fault
Faults to choose from:

Wasatch Fault (Utah, U.S.A.)
Alpine Fault (New Zealand)
Keystone Fault (Nevada, U.S.A.)

Answer 1

I chose the alpine fault but I can't find any of the information anywhere :(

Answer 2

dis is not biology...srry i dnt know about dis:(
@neuronerd can help i guess

Answer 3

ok :/ thanks

Answer 4

Earth science and me do not mix well :) I like the living kind of biology. THe little I do know about faults is that they occur where moving tectonic plates interact. From what I see, the alpine fault seems to be a transform fault. This wikipedia article gives a lot of good information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpine_Fault

Sorry couldn't be more of a help!

Answer 5

haha, thats ok :P

Answer 6

I got this exact same enlightenment, but i chose the Wasatch fault. Im having trouble with research on that as well :C
