1. Normal Fault1. Normal Fault – a pull apart fracture – a pull apart fracture in rocks, where rocks that are above in rocks, where rocks that are above the fault surface drop downward in the fault surface drop downward in relation to rocks that are below the relation to rocks that are below the fault surfacefault surface

2. Reverse Fault – a compression fracture in rocks, where rocks that are above the fault surface are forced up over rocks that are below the fault surface

3. Strike-Slip Fault – a break in rocks where rocks on either side of the fault move past each other, instead of above or below each other

Concept of ‘hanging wall’ and ‘footwall’
Footwall: Rock surface ABOVE the fault
Headwall: Rock surface ABOVE the fault
