Generation

# Fault Types Faults are fractures in Earth's crust where rocks on either side have moved relative to each other. There are three main types: **normal faults** occur when rocks pull apart (tension), causing the hanging wall to slide down; **reverse/thrust faults** happen when rocks are pushed together (compression), forcing the hanging wall up; and **strike-slip faults** result from rocks sliding horizontally past each other (shear stress). Each fault type creates distinct landforms and is associated with different tectonic settings—for example, normal faults commonly form at divergent boundaries, while reverse faults typically occur at convergent boundaries.
