of the fold. This type of Folding is called?

A type of movement that form cracks or fractures in rocks. The cracks are called fault lines.

• Faulting

• Folding

• Anticline

• Syncline

This type of Fault forms when the hanging wall drops down. The forces that create this kind of fault are pulling the sides apart or extensional

What happens to reverse fault?

• Hanging wall drops down

• Both walls move sideways
