Question

along the coast of japan and in the middle east.
normal fault - a dip - slip fault
the block above the fault has moved ____________ relative to
the block below
usually found at a ____________ boundary. inclined fractures
where the blocks have mostly shifted vertically. earthquakes are
usually ____________
found - in ocean ridges & western usa.

Explanation:

1. A normal fault is a dip-slip fault where the hanging wall (block above the fault) moves downward relative to the footwall (block below).
2. Normal faults form at divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates move apart, pulling the crust apart.
3. Earthquakes associated with normal faults are usually shallow-focus, as the vertical movement occurs near the Earth's crust.

Answer:

• The block above the fault has moved downward relative to the block below
• Usually found at a divergent plate boundary. Inclined fractures where the blocks have mostly shifted vertically. Earthquakes are usually shallow-focus
• Found- in ocean ridges & Western USA.
