Question

question 3
what type of fault is featured above?
normal
reverse
trust
olique

Explanation:

• In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to tensional forces.
• In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compressional forces.
• A thrust fault is a low - angle reverse fault.
• An oblique fault has both strike - slip and dip - slip components.
• Looking at the direction of movement (arrows in the image), the hanging wall is moving up relative to the footwall, which is characteristic of a reverse fault.

Answer:

Reverse
