A Normal fault
A normal fault moves because it is under tension. In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to the pulling apart of the Earth's crust, creating space and tension that cause the fault to move.
A normal fault moves because of tension. In this type of fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to the stretching and pulling apart of the Earth's crust.
Normal Thrust
Rocks being pulled apart are under tension. This is found at divergent plate boundaries. It is a tension fault.
Normal faults are the result of tensile stresses.

A normal fault.
normal
It moves downward.. the force behind it is tension
A Reverse fault is happens when tectonic forces cause compression that PUSHES rocks together. Normal fault happens when tectonic forces cause tension that PULLS rocks apart.Normal fault is when the hanging block moves down relative to foot block wall where as the reverse fault is formed when the hanging block wall moves up relative to the foot block walls a result of tension and compression force respectively
