1. Types of Faults

2. Dip-Slip Fault Refers to faults where movement of blocks is parallel to the dip of the fault surface

3. Dip-Slip Fault The hanging wall moved predominantly up or down relative to the footwall Normal Fault Reverse Fault

4. Normal Fault It is formed by tensional stresses that full rocks apart Happens at divergent boundaries

5. Great Rift Valley in Africa

6. Reverse Fault The hanging wall slides up over the footwall. Happens at convergent boundaries

7. Strike-slip Fault The motion of plates are horizontal

8. Strike-slip Fault Can be further classified as left lateral or right lateral srike -slip faults depending on which direction the blocks move relative to a certain reference block.

9. San Andreas Fault in California

10. Oblique Slip Fault The hanging wall motion is neither dominantly vertical nor horizontal , the motion is called oblique-slip.
