Dip-slip faults is the term used for any fault that has movement in the vertical direction. One side moves up where as the other side moves down. Examples are Normal Fault and Reverse fault.
What else can I help you with?
Can a thrust fault be referred to as a dip slip fault?
Yes. Both thrust (reverse) and normal faults are dip-slip faults.
What kind fault lines are there?
There are 6 types of fault lines. Strike-slip faults, dip-slip faults, oblique- slip faults, listric faults, ring faults, and synthetic and antithetic faults.
What does normal faulting mean?
Normal faults are when you have hanging walls that slide down relative to and below the footwall. Dip-slip faults are normal faults.
A sharp cliff caused by sudden movements along dip-slip faults is called a .?
A sharp cliff caused by sudden movements along dip-slip faults is called an earthquake. It causes the ground to shake for several seconds.

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 a deep furrow in the in the ocean floor?
Deep furrows in the ground or ocean floor are faults. San Andreas fault in California is a prime example, having displacement hundreds of kilometers long. Two kinds of faults are dip-slip faults and strike-slip faults.

Do dip-slip faults often create mountains and valleys?
Yes, dip-slip faults can create mountains and valleys. When one block of the Earth's crust moves vertically relative to another along a dip-slip fault, it can result in the formation of mountains by uplifting one block and valleys by sinking the other block. The movement can be caused by compression (reverse fault) or extension (normal fault) forces.
