Faults which move along the direction of the dip plane are dip-slip faults and described as either normal or reverse (thrust), depending on their motion. Faults which move horizontally are known as strike-slip faults and are classified as either right-lateral or left-lateral.
The 3 types of faults are: normal, reverse and strike-slip. When two blocks slide horizontally, it's strike-slip. If it moves vertically, it's dip-slip.
Normal and reverse faults display vertical, also known as dip-slip, motion. Dip-slip motion consists of relative up-and-down movement along a dipping fault between two blocks, the hanging wall, and footwall.
17 Ιαν 2020 · Together, normal and reverse faults are called dip-slip faults, because the movement on them occurs along the dip direction -- either down or up, respectively. Reverse faults create some of the world's highest mountain chains, including the Himalaya Mountains and the Rocky Mountains.
Normal faults, a type of dip-slip faults, occur when the hanging wall slips down the dip plane. They usually occur in response to tension creating the fracture and the following extension of the plane.
The dip slip may be characterized as normal or reverse, depending on whether the hanging wall moved up or down relative to the footwall. If the dip slip is much larger than the strike slip, then the fault is a dip-slip fault ; the rake of the slip in the fault plane is close to 90°.
16 Μαρ 2010 · Figure 4 compares zones of permanent surface deformation formed over a low-angle fault dipping 30° and slipping in either a right-lateral strike-slip sense (Figure 4, left) or a reverse dip-slip (Figure 4, right) sense.
