What are the different types of faults and their characteristics

1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

Normal faults form when the hanging wall drops down. The forces that create normal faults are pulling the sides apart, or extensional.

Reverse faults form when the hanging wall moves up. The forces creating reverse faults are compression, pushing the sides together.

Trans current or Strike-slip faults have walls that move sideways, not up or down.
