Question

(1) What type of fault is the Wasatch fault in Utah?

(2) A description of how rock bodies are moving at the Wasatch Fault plane.
(3) The tectonic setting most likely is associated with the Wasatch Fault (convergent, divergent, transform).
(4)The type of stress rocks at a fault are under (tensional, compressional, etc).

AND DON'T JUST TELL ME TO GOOGLE IT, I'VE ALREADY TRIED AND HAVE GONE THROUGH MULTIPLE DIFFERENT LINKS. AND NO IT IS NOT IN THE TEXTBOOK EITHER. THIS IS A LAST RESORT SINCE i CANT FIND THE ANSWERS ANYWHERE.

Answer 1

The Wasatch Fault sits in Utah and slips in a mainly vertical direction. It has mountains that rise relative to the floor of the valley. It is referred to as a normal fault. The Wasatch Mountains were slowly lifted up and tilted slightly east due to the fault moving. On average throughout history it has lifted roughly 1 millimeter per year thought there are signs that a rapid slip has occurred during the past few thousand years.
