Fault are mostly irregular in

• Height

• Shape

• Length

• Size

The main causes of faulting is

• Normal breaking

• Faults

• None of the above

Which type of faults occurs when the rocks above the fault plane or hanging wall, move down relative to the rocks

• Normal fault

• Reverse Fault

• Strike-slip fault

• None of the above

Which type of fault occurs when a rock strata are displaced mainly in a horizontal direction, parallel to the line of faults

• Strike-slip Fault

• Reverse fault

• Strick-slip
