Normal Type Faulting


Normal Type Faulting : A fracture in earth materials, along which the opposite sides have been relatively displaced parallel to the plane of movement. Normal faults, also known as gravity faults, are produced by vertical compression. In such type of faulting, the hanging wall appears to have slipped downward relative to the footwall. The angle of dip is generally 45 to 90 degrees
