where a block of rock above the fault moves down

(a)  

two blocks of rock slide horizontally past each other in opposite directions...what type of fault is that?

Force pushes two blocks of rock together with the rock above the fault moving UP

• Reverse Fault

• Normal Fault

• Strike Fault

• Slip Fault
