1. PRE-TEST ON FAULTS

2. 1. Based on the angle of the fault plane, which of the following is NOT a classification of geological faults? A) Vertical fault B) Dip-slip fault C) Oblique fault D) Horizontal fault

3. 2. A fault where the fault plane is nearly vertical is called a: A) Normal fault B) Reverse fault C) Vertical fault D) Strike-slip fault

4. 3. What type of fault occurs when the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall due to extensional forces? A) Reverse fault B) Normal fault C) Strike-slip fault D) Transform fault

5. 4. A reverse fault is characterized by: A) The hanging wall moving down B) The hanging wall moving up C) Horizontal displacement D) No movement

6. 5. Which type of fault is also known as a thrust fault when the dip of the fault plane is less than 45°? A) Normal fault B) Strike-slip fault C) Oblique-slip fault D) Reverse fault

7. 6. Which type of fault primarily involves horizontal displacement with little or no vertical movement? A) Normal fault B) Reverse fault C) Strike-slip fault D) Thrust fault

8. 7. What is the key difference between a right-lateral and a left-lateral strike-slip fault? A) The direction the hanging wall moves B) The orientation of the fault plane C) The direction the opposite side moves relative to an observer D) The presence of vertical displacement

9. 8. In an oblique-slip fault, movement occurs: A) Purely horizontal B) Purely vertical C) Both horizontally and vertically D) Only at low angles

10. 9. The San Andreas Fault is an example of which type of fault? A) Normal fault B) Reverse fault C) Right-lateral strike-slip fault D) Left-lateral strike-slip fault
