The Hanging Wall Has Moved Downward Relative To The Footwall

Tension is stress that pulls rocks apart.

The hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall.

Along a normal fault the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall. A downthrown block between two normal faults dipping towards each other is a graben. A fault has little or no vertical movements of the two blocks. The hanging wall on the right slides down relative to the footwall.

Two parallel normal faults form. In a normal fault the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall. Forces in earth s crust. Is a dip slip fault in which the hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall tectonic creep is gradual movement along a fault without accompanying felt earthquakes.

The hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall. The hanging wall on the left slides down relative to the footwall. The hanging wall on the right slides down relative to the footwall. Normal faults usually form where tectonic plate motions cause tension.

In a normal fault the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall. Low angle normal faults with regional tectonic significance may be designated detachment faults. An upthrown block between two normal faults dipping away from each other is a horst. Which type of fault is the scientist observing.

Reverse in a fault the hanging wall block move up with respect to the footwall block.
