Question

Describe how you can tell the difference between a normal fault and a reverse fault.

Answer 1

Explanation:

A fault is a product of brittle deformation in  which a displacement occurs within the earth.

A normal and reverse fault both have an hanging wall and a foot wall.

• In a normal fault, the footwall moves upward and the hanging wall moves downward thereby causing extension.
• In a reverse fault, the footwall moves downward and the hanging wall moves upward thereby causing shortening.
• The footwall is the block on a side of the fault surface where a miner can stand whereas the hanging wall is the block on the other side.
