the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.

The rock gets farther a part from the fault

Earthquake.
if your on a fault it will shake and shift ground above
it get weak
Along a fault, rock layers can become displaced, offset, or tilted. This is due to the movement of the Earth's crust along the fault line, resulting in different rock layers being shifted relative to each other.
The hanging wall block slips downward along the thrust fault
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
Rocks along a fault line can break and shift due to tectonic forces, causing movements such as sliding past each other or being compressed together. The friction and pressure along the fault line can lead to earthquakes when the accumulated stress is released suddenly. Over time, the rocks along a fault line can also undergo deformation, such as folding and faulting.
Tension, friction and heat increase.
