This document summarizes different types of faults including normal faults. It defines normal faults as faults where the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall, emplacing younger rocks on top of older rocks. It describes several features of normal faults including their typical steep dip of 60 degrees. Deeper normal faults can develop ductile features like mylonitic textures in shear zones. The document classifies normal faults into several categories based on their geometry including detachment faults, imbricate faults, faults that dip inward with depth, and faults that form horst and graben structures. It also describes how displacement on normal faults can be rotational or non-rotational depending on changes in the fault block orientation.
