Question
in which type of fault is the hanging wall above the footwall? normal reverse strike - slip horizontal
Brief Explanations
In a reverse fault, compressional forces cause the hanging - wall to move up relative to the footwall, so the hanging wall is above the footwall. In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall. Strike - slip faults involve horizontal movement and a horizontal fault is not a standard term for this context in the way these options are presented.
