Normal Fault Diagram Drawing. The fault illustrated is of a normal dip slip variety. Where the fault plane is sloping as with normal and reverse faults the upper side is the hanging wall and the lower side is the footwall.
A fracture in bedrock along which rocks on one side have moved relative to the other side. The fault illustrated is of a normal dip slip variety. This diagram depicts the types of stresses available.
It is a flat surface that may be vertical or sloping.
A fracture on a rock without noticeable movement. The fault plane is where the action is. Where the fault plane is sloping as with normal and reverse faults the upper side is the hanging wall and the lower side is the footwall. A fracture in bedrock along which rocks on one side have moved relative to the other side.
