What are 6 facts about a normal fault?

Answer 1

Normal faults have a hanging wall and footwall

Normal Faults are common at mid-ocean ridges

Normal Faults occur where the crust is being pulled apart at the divergent plate boudary.

Sorry i only have 3 facts, but I anyone with the question

Answer 2

1. A normal fault is a type of fault where the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall.
2. They are typically associated with extensional tectonic forces, where the crust is being pulled apart.
3. Normal faults are common at divergent plate boundaries, such as mid-ocean ridges.
4. These faults often create valleys or rift valleys as the crust stretches and thins.
5. They have a characteristic "step-like" pattern due to repeated faulting events.
6. Earthquakes associated with normal faults tend to have vertical motion and are classified as dip-slip earthquakes.
