How does the hanging wall in a normal fault move in relation to a reverse fault?

In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall, creating extensional forces. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall, generating compressional forces.

What are the 2 types of faultung?

The two main types of faulting are normal faulting, where the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, and reverse faulting, where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.


Is a hanging wall the same as a footwall?

No, a hanging wall and a footwall are not the same in geology. The hanging wall is the block of rock above a fault line that moves down relative to the footwall, which is the block of rock below the fault line that moves up.

When the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall it is a fault.?

Yes, when the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall along a fault, it is known as a reverse fault. Reverse faults are caused by compressional forces in the Earth's crust, leading to the hanging wall moving up and over the footwall.


What are three types of movements that occur along faults?

Normal faulting, where the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall. Reverse faulting, where the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall. Strike-slip faulting, where horizontal movement occurs parallel to the fault plane.
