Answer:

The satellite is being accelerated towards the Earth by the gravity of the Earth, but because it's moving sideways too quickly, it keeps missing the Earth. So it keeps falling, but not getting closer. This is what it means to "orbit". In orbit you have two forces balanced, gravity and centripetal acceleration

A fault in which the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall is a
ikadub [295]

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.
