Question
which type of fault is shown below? normal reverse strike - slip
Brief Explanations
In a strike - slip fault, the movement of the two blocks is horizontal and parallel to the fault plane, which is what is depicted in the image. In normal faults, one block moves down relative to the other due to tensional forces. In reverse faults, one block moves up relative to the other due to compressional forces. The image shows horizontal displacement characteristic of a strike - slip fault.
