Contrast the movements that occur along normal and reverse faults

What will be an ideal response?


Both normal and reverse faults are dip-slip faults, meaning that the motion along the fault occurs in the vertical plane. In a normal fault, the motion of the hanging wall block is downward. In a reverse fault, the motion of the hanging wall block is upward.
