A normal fault is a fault in which the hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall.
What characteristics of a fault tell you whether it is a normal fault or a reverse fault?
A reverse fault is in a zone of compressional faulting, rocks in the hanging wall are pushed up relative to rocks in the footwall. A normal fault is in a zone of tensional faulting, rocks in the hanging wall drop down relative to those in a footwall forming a normal fault.
What type of fault forms when a hanging wall moves upward?
Reverse Fault
What does reverse fault produce?
The hanging wall moves up relative to the foot wall. These happen when tectonic forces push rocks together. It is caused by compression.
What type of fault causes the land to move downward?
In a normal fault the hanging wall moves downward. With this type of fault, the hanging wall also shifts horizontally away from the fault line.
How does the hanging wall in a normal fault move in relation to a reverse fault?

In a fault the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall?
This is true of normal faults. In thrust or reverse faults, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall and in strike slip faults, it moves horizontally relative to the footwall.
