Are the three types of faults normal faults backward faults and slip faults?
No. Your terminology is close but not quite right. The three main types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Strike-slip faults may also be called transform 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.
Two types of faults can result in mountains which are they?
The two types of faults that can result in mountains are reverse faults and normal faults.
How faults are made?
Faults are created when tectonic plates are stretching or compressing. There are two types of faults which are normal and reverse faults.

What is the main direction of stress on blocks of rock at normql faults reverse faults and strike-slip faults?
The main direction of the stress on blocks of rock at normal faults, reverse faults and the strike slip faults usually happens at the weak areas.
What are the faults in the cable?
Cable faults are normally categorised as (a) conductor-to-earth (ground) faults, (b) conductor-to-conductor faults, and (c) conductor-to-conductor-to earth (ground) faults. In addition to that, we can categorise them by whether they are 'high-resistance' or 'low-resistance' 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.
What faults are correctly associated with which types of stress?
All faults are associated with stress, as summarised below: Normal faults - tensile stress Reverse / thrust faults - compressive stress Strike slip faults - shear stress
Differences between a fault and a fold?
Folds are the when the rock layers bend. Faults are breaks in the rock layers. Folds are called anticlines and synclines. Faults are called reverse faults, normal faults, or strike-slip faults.
