(From Tempur-Pedic's Website) Tempur-Pedic mattresses have been designed to be paired with a Tempur-Pedic foundation. However, we understand that some consumers wish to use their existing platform style bed with slats (as opposed to a flat surface) with our mattress.
The type of motion along a fault depends on the type of fault. The main types of faults are described below. 1  Normal dip-slip fault. 2  Normal faults happen in areas where the rocks are pulling apart (tensile forces) so that the rocky crust of an area is able to take up more space. 3  The rock on one side of the fault is moved down relative to the rock on the other side of the fault.
The main characteristic of a reverse fault it that a piece of rock from the plate is thrust up higher than the original level of the ground. This formation is also referred to as a scarp. In contrast, there are two other types of stress, both forming different types of faults. Divergent plate boundaries, which is when the land plates are moving away from each other, experience tensional stress. This type of stress produces normal faults. The rocks and landforms are stretched when tensional stress occurs. Since rocks cannot stretch indefinitely, they eventually break and form a fault.
