A strike-slip fault involves a sideways motion where two blocks of the Earth's crust slide past each other horizontally. This type of fault is typically associated with transform plate boundaries. The movement is primarily lateral, with little to no vertical displacement. An example of a strike-slip fault is the San Andreas Fault in California.
Normal fault
In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, resulting in extensional strain. This type of fault forms in response to tensional stress in the Earth's crust, such as the pulling apart of tectonic plates.
A normal fault is typically found on a divergent boundary. This type of fault occurs as the Earth's crust is being pulled apart, causing one side to move downward relative to the other.
A reverse fault forms when a hanging wall moves upward due to compressional forces. This type of fault occurs in areas where the crust is being pushed together, causing the hanging wall to move up and the footwall to move down.
A thrust fault is a type of reverse fault where the hanging wall moves up and over the footwall, resulting in compression and shortening of the crust. This type of fault is commonly associated with convergent plate boundaries where horizontal compression forces rocks to move vertically.

A normal fault is a type of fault in which the hanging wall drops down relative to the footwall due to tensional forces in the Earth's crust. This type of fault is commonly associated with extensional tectonic settings, where the crust is being pulled apart.
Is the question about "vegetable shortening"? In apple pie filling, a small amount of butter (about 2 Tablespoons) NOT shortening, should be used to "dot" the top of the filling before the top crust is applied. For any pie crust, including crust for apple pie, butter or lard, or a combination of both, may be used instead of vegetable shortening. There are also recipes for crust made with vegetable oil, which produce a slightly different type of crust with a crumbly texture.
The vast majority of the crust that the US has is continental crust, but the west side of the Andreas fault is mostly oceanic crust.
A crack in the Earth's crust is a fracture where rocks have pulled apart, whereas a fault is a fracture where there has been movement along the fracture plane. In other words, a fault is a type of crack in the Earth's crust that has undergone displacement.

Movement of rocks along large cracks in the Earth's crust.

A reverse fault is under compression. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compression forces in the Earth's crust. This type of fault is common in areas with convergent tectonic plate boundaries.
Flour used for pie dough is all-purpose flour. This flour type is versatile for making a pliable, dense dough that will keep firm.
A normal fault moves because of tension. In this type of fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to the stretching and pulling apart of the Earth's crust.
