That the hanging wall is moved downward. They occur were two blocks of rock pull apart, by tension.
Normal Fault
A normal fault.
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.
No. A thrust fault is a low-angle reverse fault.
A Normal fault
The Owens Valley is NOT a reverse fault. This valley is a normal fault.
Normal Fault
A normal fault.
it is a normal fault.
In a normal fault, the fault is at an angle, so one block of rock lies above the fault while the other lies below it. The rock above it is the hanging wall and the rock below it is the footwall. In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves downwards relative to the footwall.
a pulling motion causes a normal fault
three kinds of faults are normal fault, reverse fault, and strike-slip fault.
normal fault reverse fault slip strike fault
normal fault, reverse fault, strike-slip fault,
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.
A normal fault is the opposite of a reverse fault.
Neither. It is a strike-slip fault.
