How does the position of a hanging wall relative to the footwall give evidence of the stress placed on a rock layer?
The position of the hanging wall relative to the footwall in a fault zone can indicate the direction and type of stress that caused the faulting. In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall due to extensional stress. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compressional stress. Strike-slip faults show lateral movement caused by horizontal shear stress.
