The faults in which the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall is called normal fault.
Explanation:
There are several types of faults based on their characteristics. One of them is the normal fault, or normal dip-slip fault. The main characteristic of this fault is that its hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, while the footwall tends to move up relative to the hanging wall. The force that creates this type of faults is the vertical compression as the crust of Earth is lengthening.
These faults can be found all over the world, and they are actually the most common type of faults.
The normal dip-slip faults are bounding big portion of the mountains, as well as rift valleys.
As these faults progress with their formation, with the footwall going up, and the hanging wall going down, the footwall becomes a hill or a mountain, while the hanging wall becomes a valley.
The normal dip-slip faults can be found at all types of tectonic plate boundaries.

A supercell thunderstorm is a type of storm that is characterized by a deep and rotating updraft. Supercells can be quite severe, but tend to last between 2 and 4 hours. These storms are particularly associated with the Great Plains area of the United States and the area known as Tornado Corridor in South America (Argentina, Uruguay and southern Brazil).
