At strike-slip fault lines, which is higher, the footwall or the hanging wall?
Neither, they are equal!

When a fault is inclined (not perfectly vertical), what do you call the two blocks that are distinguished by their position relative to the fault plane?
Hanging Wall and Footwall
200
What causes a reverse fault?

300
What do faults do?
Faults allow the blocks to move relative to each other.
300
Which dip-slip fault in which the upper block, above the fault plane, moves up and over the lower block?
Reverse (thrust) fault
300
What is the flat surface along which the slip or movement occurs?
Fault plane
300
What happens to a footwall in a reverse fault?
It goes down. Hanging wall moves up.

400
Identify the image as being a Fault or a Fold.
Fold.

Which fault occurs on two blocks sliding past each other?
Strike-slip fault
400
What is the intersection of the fault plane with the surface of the Earth?
Fault Line
400
What direction do the plates/planes move in a reverse fault?
Towards one another
400
Name the 3 types of plate stressors that break the crust.
Compression, Shearing, Tension
500
What do you call the angle of the fault with respect to the surface?
Dip
500
Which lateral fault is shown in the picture?
Left lateral fault
500
Is this view indicative of a Normal Fault?
No. Hanging wall is above the foot wall - This is a Reverse/Thrust Fault
