Normal Fault Diagram
Normal Fault Diagram. The pre-faulting situation is illustrated in (A). Other articles where Normal fault is discussed: fault: Normal dip-slip faults are produced by vertical compression as Earth's crust lengthens.
Groups of normal faults can produce horst and graben topography, or a series of relatively high- and low-standing fault blocks, as seen in areas where the crust is rifting or being pulled apart by plate.
See fault juxtaposition diagram and smear.
An ER diagram is just a representation, it does not. Faulting occurs when shear stress on a rock overcomes the forces which hold it together. Although not particular to normal faults, relative uplift and subsidence on either side of a surface breaking fault leads to predictable patterns of erosion and sedi mentation.
