A normal fault is a fault in which the hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall.
The footwall is the block that is below the fault. The hanging wall is the fault block that is above the fault.
a hanging wall is the pieces or rock that that forms the upper half of a fault.
a reverse fault
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.
A normal fault is a fault in which the hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall.
The footwall is the block that is below the fault. The hanging wall is the fault block that is above the fault.
thrust
reverse fault. but that is when the foot wall moves down, the hanging wall moves up. in a strike-slip fault, they slide past each other, the foot wall and hanging wall are not there because it has to be like this to be a reverse or normal fault: hanging wall ----------foot wall ----------- in this diagram, the foot wall has moved down making the hanging wall move up to form a reverse fault. remember this on tests: the hanging wall is always above the fault line: /hanging wall above foot wall below / /
there is a foot wall and a hanging wall the hanging wall slips
you would call it a normal fault because the hanging wall goes down and the foot wall goes up and over the hanging wall.
a hanging wall is the pieces or rock that that forms the upper half of a fault.
the upper wall of an inclined fault
a reverse fault
a reverse fault
a reverse fault
Astrike-slip fault it when the hanging wall and the footwall slide past each other.
