Definitions:

Normal Faults

A type of fault where the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to tensile (pulling apart) stress in the Earth's crust.

Oblique-Slip Faults

Faults that exhibit both vertical (dip-slip) and lateral (strike-slip) movement, combining features of normal, reverse, and transform faults.

Normal Fault

A type of fault where the hanging wall slides downward relative to the footwall, typically caused by extensional forces.

Reverse Fault

A type of fault where the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall, typically associated with compressional stress.
