The Death Valley fault is primarily a normal fault, which means it is characterized by the vertical movement of rock where the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall. This type of faulting is associated with extensional tectonics, where the Earth's crust is being pulled apart. Located in the Basin and Range Province of California, it contributes to the region's characteristic landscape of valleys and mountains. The fault is also part of a complex system of other faults that accommodate tectonic forces in the area.
