Tensional stress along a fault can result in a dropped hanging-wall block relative to the footwall side.Which produces this?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This describes a normal fault where tensional stress causes the hanging-wall block to drop relative to the footwall side. In a reverse fault or thrust fault, compressional stress would cause the hanging-wall block to be pushed up relative to the footwall side. In a strike-slip fault, the movement is horizontal, not vertical.
