Normal Fault 3
Normal Fault 3 : Natural Disaster. A fault that involves lateral extension, where one block (the hanging wall) moves over another (the footwall) down the dip of the fault plane, i.e., the movement of the hanging wall is downward relative to the footwall. The maximum compressive stress is vertical; the least compressive stress is horizontal. See reverse fault; also Figs. 3.32 and 3.33 ??? in Chapter 3 of this Manual, Jackson (2002), and Figure 13 of Ben-Zion (2003)
