(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.
There are transform faults which the earth crust rubs past each other. Mid ocean ridges and rift valleys which divergence takes place, and deep ocean trenches where convergence takes place. The biggest earthquakes happen at subduction zones though. An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault.
