What is the result When a hanging wall of a fault slips down with respect to the footwall?
Normal Fault
When the hanging wall of a fault slips down with respect to the footwall the result is a?
A normal fault
How is the hanging wall different from the footwall?
The footwall is the block that is below the fault. The hanging wall is the fault block that is above the fault.
How does the hanging wall in a normal fault move in relation to a reverse fault?
A normal fault is a fault in which the hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall.
When a fault is not vertical a hanging wall and what are formed?
a reverse fault

What can happen at a fault zone?
In geology, a fault or fault line is a planar fracture in rock in which the rock on one side of the fracture has moved with respect to the rock on the other side. Large faults within the Earth's crust are the result of differential or shear motion and active fault zones are the causal locations of most earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused by energy release during rapid slippage along a fault. A fault that runs along the boundary between two tectonic plates is called a transform fault.Since faults do not usually consist of a single, clean fracture, the term fault zone is used when referring to the zone of complex deformation that is associated with the fault plane. The two sides of a non-vertical fault are called the hanging wall and footwall. By definition, the hanging wall occurs above the fault and the footwall occurs below the fault. This terminology comes from mining. When working a tabular ore body the miner stood with the footwall under his feet and with the hanging wall hanging above him.
