There are many geological faults in East Africa, notably the Great Rift Valley.
faults are usually found in africa
An example of a normal fault is the Great Rift Valley of Africa.
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.
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.
Faults are created when tectonic plates are stretching or compressing. There are two types of faults which are normal and reverse faults.
Your faults are flaws in your personality. Earth's faults are cracks in the ground along which blocks of rock move.

The three major types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Synclines are not faults but rather geological structures that describe the folding of rock layers.
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.
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.
The two types of faults that can result in mountains are thrust faults and normal faults. Thrust faults occur when one tectonic plate is forced up over another, while normal faults occur when the Earth's crust is being pulled apart, causing one block to drop down relative to the other.
