It is the surface along which the slip or movement occurs during an earthquake.

NGSS.MS-ESS3-2

It is a type of fault where stress squeezed rocks due to compression, the hanging wall will move up relative to the foot wall.

• Normal Fault

• Thrust Fault

• Reverse Fault

• Strike-slip Fault

These are structures that can be identified but do not causes earthquakes.

• Active Faults

• Inactive Faults

• Fault Scarp

• Fault Plane
