Types of Faults, Types of Stresses (which plate boundaries are these found) and how these relate; Hanging Wall vs. Footwall; COMPRESSION, TENSION, SHEAR

foot wall

*The block you stand on* *Strike-slip: FW and HW slide past* *Normal: ...............goes up* *Reverse: ................goes down*

Normal faults

............ form due to *tension (pulling apart)* The *hanging wall goes down, the foot wall goes up*

Strike‐slip faults

............. form due to *shear (sliding)* *Hanging wall and foot wall slide past each other*

Reverse faults

............. form from *compression (squeezing)* The *hanging wall goes up, the foot wall goes down*

Hanging wall

The *block you hang your lantern on* *Strike-slip: HW and FW slide past* *Normal: ............ goes down* *Reverse: .............. goes up*

Tension

seen in: *DIVERGENT BOUNDARY* motion: *MOVING APART*

Shear

seen in: *TRANSFORM BOUNDARY* motion: *SLIDING PAST*

Compression

seen in: *CONVERGENT BOUNDARY* motion: *COMING TOGETHER*
