• Fracture Surface in rock across which there is relative motion parallel to the surface
between the adjacent blocks of the rock.
• The force may be tensional or compressional.
 Strike Slip Fault
 Dip Slip Fault/Normal Fault
 Diagonal Slip Fault/ Oblige Fault
Faults are classified in two types:
a- Geometric b- Genetic
A- Geometric classification of faults:
 Faults in which the hanging wall move downward with respect to
foot wall.
 They emplace younger rocks on the top of older rocks.
 Most Normal Faults have steep dips of about 60°.
Hanging wall
Foot wall
 Normal fault exits at all level in the crust.
 The surface features of faults vary with the shape of the
fault, the depth at which movement on the fault occurred.
 At shallow level, normal faults develop cataclastic rocks,
slickensides, and slickenside lineations.
 At deeper structural levels, normal fault develop feature
associated with ductile deformation, including mylonitic
textures which may be present in shear zones tens to
hundreds of meters in thickness.
Detachment fault.
2- Imbricate Fault
• The set of parallel faults which are closely spaced parallel faults of the same type that either terminate
or merge with detachment fault.
• Normal Faults in the hanging wall may form set of imbricate faults.
3- Imbricate Fault
• The faults which are concave upward fault
• Whose dip decreases with the increasing depth
4- Horst & Graben
5- Half Graben
6- Synthetic And Antithetic Fault
 Displacement on ideal normal faults is parallel to the dip of
the fault surface.
 If the strike of the fault varies, however, rigid movement o
the HW block relative to the FW block cannot everywhere be
down the dip of the fault.(Fig.1&2).
 Movement on normal fault can be either nonrotational or
rotational, depending on whether the orientation of the fault
block remain constant or changes as a result of faulting.

hanging wall.
