Description: Tension compression and shearing work over million of years to change the shape and volume of roce Faults actually occur along plate boundaries, where the forces of plate motion push or pull the crust so much that the crust breaks. There are three main types of faults. Normal Fault, Reverse Fault, Strike-strip faults. Over , millions of years, the forces of plate movements can change a flat plain into landform such as anticlines and synclines, folded mountains, fault block mountain, and ...
