What motion causes normal fault?
a pulling motion causes a normal fault
What motion causes a normal fault?
reverse .yu welcome
What force of deformation produces each fault?
Tensional force and compressional force.
What does a fault have to do with an earthquake?
The fault is what causes an earthquake by sliding together, making friction.
In what direction do rocks above anormal fault surface moves?
In a reverse fault, compression (plates crashing together) causes the hanging wall to move up. In a normal fault, tension ( plates pulling apart) causes the footwall to push up.
What force causes a strike slip fault?

What stress causes a slip-strike fault?
The stress that causes strike-slip faults is produced by a shearing force and so is called shear stress.
