The three major types of fault are normal fault, reverse fault (thrust fault), and strike-slip fault (transform fault). A normal fault is one in which the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall as a result of tension. A reverse fault is one in which the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall as a result of compression. A strike-slip fault is one in which shear causes horizontal movement along a fault plane. All transform faults are a type of strike-slip fault. However, not all strike-slip faults are transform (since some occur at locations away from plate boundaries).

Answer: TRUE

Answer 57

Recent mathematical studies have shown that ocean spray has an effect on the winds of a hurricane. Apparently, the tiny spray reduces the friction between the wind and sea surface. Therefore, with the same pressure gradient, the more ocean spray, the higher the winds. So, limiting ocean spray from entering the air above by dropping oil onto the ocean water may reduce the storm's winds. Without knowing the mathematical reasons, the ancient sailors, by dumping oil into the sea, may have actually been preventing very strong winds and even hurricanes.
