Actually the first one is right! In my science book its clearly says :normal fault, the fault is at an angle so one block of rock lies above the fault while the other fault lies below the fault. When movement occurs along a normal fault, the hanging wall slips downward. sorry Smallvillegirl... SO THE ANSWER IS NORMAL FAULTS
Actually, that's wrong. I have the same crossword puzzle whoever answered the question, and it was assigned for homework, and if number 6 across is shearing, number 5 down would have to be reverse. It is reverse fault.

Old Answer:
The answer to this question is easy! Unless you don't know your Earth Science of course! There are three different types of faults:Normal Faults, Reverse Faults, and Strike-slip Faults.
A strike-slip fault(or a latteral fault) moves in opposition of each other.
A reverse fault is when the hanging wall moves upward caused by compression.
A normal fault is when the hanging wall moves downward caused by tension.
So there you have it! The answer to your question is obviously a NORMAL FAULT!!!!!
If you need any more answers' about Earth Science post some more questions and I'll answer them for ya!!!!!

In A Blank Fault The Hanging Wall Moves Up Relative To The Footwall?
In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, whereas in a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
The hanging wall moves up relative to footwall in a?
Reverse Fault
In a hanging fault the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall?
thrust
The hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall in a?
Reverse Fault
Occurs when the hanging wall moves up relative to a footwall?
This is called a reverse fault. It occurs when compressional forces cause the hanging wall to move up relative to the footwall along a steeply inclined fault plane. Reverse faults are commonly found in areas where tectonic plates are colliding or converging.
What occurs when the hanging wall moves relative to the footwall?
A normal fault.
In A Blank Fault The Hanging Wall Moves Up Relative To The Footwall?
In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, whereas in a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
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.

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

When the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall is it a fault.?
Thrust
This type of fault occurs when rock above the fault moves upward at the fault line?
A reverse fault occurs when rock above the fault moves upward at the fault line. This type of fault is associated with compressional stress where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall. Reverse faults are common in regions undergoing compression, such as convergent plate boundaries.
What is a Reverse faults?
A reverse fault is a fault in which the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
