Explain to students in Group 2 that they have created a model of a normal fault. The fault is marked by the cut in the cardboard. In a normal fault, the rock above the fault plane moves down the ...

Figure 2: Compressional (P-) wave velocities superimposed on coincident seismic reflection profiles illustrate the concentration of serpentinization beneath the hanging wall of normal faults (expa ...

Shreedharan, assistant professor in USU's Department of Geosciences, says normal faults generally look like two slabs of rock, where one slab, the "hanging wall," moves downward relative to the ...

where the ground above the fault zone either drops (a normal fault) or is pushed up (a reverse fault). A normal fault occurs where the deeper part of the crust is pulling away from an overlying part.
