What motion causes normal fault?
a pulling motion causes a normal fault
What is the difference between a strike slip fault and a normal fault?
strike-slip has a horizontal motion
What type of fault causes the land to move downward?
In a normal fault the hanging wall moves downward. With this type of fault, the hanging wall also shifts horizontally away from the fault line.
Is the Owens Valley a reverse fault?
The Owens Valley is NOT a reverse fault. This valley is a normal fault.
What type of fault causes land to move downward?
Normal fault. The fault itself does not cause the sinking but is part or an effectof the process. The sunken block between two faults is called a "graben".
What motion causes normal fault?
a pulling motion causes a normal fault
What type of fault causes mountains?
normal fault
What fault motion was the Kobe Japan Earthquake?

What type of force causes a normal fault to form?
tensional forces

What are the three types of plate boundaries and what types of faults occur there?
a. Transform:transform boundaries or motion creates strike-slip faults.b. Convergent:convergent boundaries or motion creates reverse faults.c. Divergent:divergent motion creates a normal fault.
