What fault occurs when tectonic plates pull apart from one another and tensional stress is placed on rock layers?
A fault called a normal fault occurs when tectonic plates pull apart and tensional stress causes the rock layers to break and move along the fault line. In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to the extensional forces acting on the rocks.

What is a normal fault zone?
In many cases a fault does not consist of a single crack but of a series of cracks in the rock that all form close to the same plane. A normal fault is a fault tat forms as a result of two blocks of rock being pulled away from one another, with one block sliding down the fault.
