The answer is normal fault. A normal fault occurs when the hanging wall falls below the footwall and where there are extension forces on the fault in the crust. These forces lengthen the faulted section of rock. This is unlike in reverse fault that shortens the faulted section of rock and forces the hanging wall to move up in relation to the footwall. An example of a normal fault is the Great Rift Valley in Africa.

Complete the first step of the indirect proof of the following statement:
jenyasd209 [6]

We select the symbol of '<' if we assume temporarily for 4x+3 12.

Assume temporarily for 4x+3 12, we select the symbol of '<' because the real equation is "4X+3>12" in which the symbol '>' is used. The symbol '>' is used to show the greater number and a smaller number. The pointed side shows that the number is smaller.

while on the other hand, the wider part shows that the number or value is greater than the other one so we can conclude that we select the symbol of '<' if we assume temporarily for 4x+3 12.
