In a fault the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall?
This is true of normal faults. In thrust or reverse faults, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall and in strike slip faults, it moves horizontally relative to the footwall.
When movement occurs along a normal fault?
The hanging wall goes down while the footwall goes up.
What type of motion is found along a reverse fault?

When a hanging wall moves up to the footwall it is a?
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 / /
What happens at a normal fault?
A fault that forms at a divergent boundary
The hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall in?

What happens along a fault?

What characteristics of a fault tell you whether it is a normal fault or a reverse fault?
A reverse fault is in a zone of compressional faulting, rocks in the hanging wall are pushed up relative to rocks in the footwall. A normal fault is in a zone of tensional faulting, rocks in the hanging wall drop down relative to those in a footwall forming a normal fault.
The hanging wall slides up and down over the footwall is called?
normal fault i think
