What are the three types of faults?

There are three different types of faults:

1. Normal

2. Reverse

3. Transcurrent (Strike-Slip).

Explanation:

1. Normal faults form when the hanging wall drops down. The forces that create normal faults are pulling the sides apart, or extensional.

2. Reverse faults form when the hanging wall moves up. The forces creating reverse faults are compressional, pushing the sides together.

3. Transcurrent or Strike-slip faults have walls that move sideways, not up or down.

The correct answer is Normal, Reverse, and Transcurrent.

Explanation:

A fault is a geological phenomenon caused by the movement of tectonic plates that generates a crack in the Earth's crust.

The types of tectonic faults that exist are:
