But that is when the foot wall moves down the hanging wall moves up.
Fault hanging wall moves downward.
In a reverse fault the footwall does not move while the hanging wall moves down.
Low angle normal faults with regional tectonic significance may be designated detachment faults.
In a reverse fault the hanging wall moves down and the footwall moves up.
What kind of force would create the fault in figure 1.
In dip slip faults if the hanging wall block moves downward relative to the footwall read more.
A dip slip fault in which the block above the fault has moved downward relative to the block below.
In a strike slip fault they slide past each other the foot wall and hanging wall are not there because it has.
Formed by compressional stress rocks are pushed towards each other thrust fault.
Rocks are stretched away from each other reverse fault.
A downthrown block between two normal faults dipping towards each other is a graben.
In a strike slip fault they slide past each other the foot wall and hanging wall are not there because it has.
A normal fault is when the hanging wall moves downward caused by tension.
A reverse fault is when the hanging wall moves upward caused by compression.
Which fault will see the hanging wall move down relative to the footwall.
The hanging wall moves up relative to the foot wall.
To the dip is called dip slip faulting.
What kind of fault is visible in figure 1.
In a reverse fault the hanging wall does not move while the footwall moves down.
In a normal fault the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall.
Compression faults combine elements of strike slip and dip slip motions.
Occurs when the hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall reverse fault.
An upthrown block between two normal faults dipping away from each other is a horst.
This type of faulting occurs in response to extension.
The hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall.
So there you have it.
In a reverse fault the hanging wall moves up and the footwall moves down.
But that is when the foot wall moves down the hanging wall moves up.
