In this fault the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall.
Fault the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall.
It is caused by tension.
To the dip is called dip slip faulting.
When the hanging wall moves up in relative to the footwall it is called a fault.
In this fault the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall.
Strike slip faults are right lateral or left lateral depending on whether the block on the opposite side of the fault from an observer has moved to the right or left.
In a normal fault the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall.
It is caused by tension.
There is a normal fault which happens at a divergent boundary.
Special type of reverse fault that is nearly horizontal angle has less than 45 degrees strike slip fault.
There is a normal fault which happens at a divergent boundary.
An upthrown block between two normal faults dipping away from each other is a horst.
A downthrown block between two normal faults dipping towards each other is a graben.
The hanging wall moves up relative to the foot wall.
Low angle normal faults with regional tectonic significance may be designated detachment faults.
These usually occur when tectonic forces cause tension that pulls rocks apart.
When the hanging wall moves down in relative to the footwall it is called a fault.
