Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Normal, reverse, and thrust faults are all types of dip-slip faults, where the movement is primarily up or down along the fault plane. Strike-slip faults, on the other hand, are characterized by horizontal movement. Oblique-slip faults have a combination of vertical and horizontal movement. Lateral is not a type of fault but can refer to the direction of movement on a strike-slip fault.
