Do geologists use creep meter to measure the horizontal movement along a fault?
yea
What clue tells geologists fault?
ummm....?
What is used to detect hidden faults?
Geologists can use seismographs to detect hidden faults. When seismic waves encounter a fault, they are reflected off of the fault. Geologists can use this information to chart the location of a depth of a hidden fault.
Is the san Andreas fault horizontal or vertical?
Vertical and horizontal
What fault with a shallow angle is a thrust fault?
Reverse
Do geologists use creep meter to measure the horizontal movement along a fault?
yea
What do geologists use to monitor the upward movement along a fault?
Geologists use a tiltmeter to monitor the upward movement along a fault.
What is a blind fault?
A blind thrust fault is a geological term for a type of thrust fault which does not appear on the surface - where a hanging wall makes an angle with the horizontal of less than 45 degrees, but is hidden from view.

What is a fault with horizontal movement called?
Horizontal faults can be refered to as lateral faults or strike-slip faults.
The dip of a unit represents what?
The dip of a unit represents the angle at which the bed inclines from the horizontal. In dip-slip faults, the fault blocks move up and down, parallel to the dip of the fault plane.
What is used to detect hidden faults?
Geologists can use seismographs to detect hidden faults. When seismic waves encounter a fault, they are reflected off of the fault. Geologists can use this information to chart the location of a depth of a hidden fault.
What is fault inception angle?
It the angle between fault current and voltage at the point where the fault occurs.
Is the san Andreas fault horizontal or vertical?
Vertical and horizontal
What fault formed as a result of horizontal compression?
