Formed by compressional stress rocks are pushed towards each other thrust fault.
Fault the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall.
It is caused by tension.
The hanging wall moves up relative to the foot wall.
A downthrown block between two normal faults dipping towards each other is a graben.
An upthrown block between two normal faults dipping away from each other is a horst.
These usually occur when tectonic forces cause tension that pulls rocks apart.
In this fault the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall.
Special type of reverse fault that is nearly horizontal angle has less than 45 degrees strike slip fault.
In dip slip faults if the hanging wall block moves downward relative to the footwall read more.
To the dip is called dip slip faulting.
In this fault the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall.
It is caused by tension.
When the hanging wall moves down in relative to the footwall it is called a fault.
Low angle normal faults with regional tectonic significance may be designated detachment faults.
In a normal fault the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall.
Strike slip faults are right lateral or left lateral depending on whether the block on the opposite side of the fault from an observer has moved to the right or left.
There is a normal fault which happens at a divergent boundary.
