1. This block diagram shows flat-lying layers that have been cut by a fault, resulting in their displacement. Note

how this feature looks on both the surface of the ground and in the subsurface. Identify at least one marker bed to help answer the question below, and add sense of motion (arrows pointing in the direction of movement) and labels to the hanging wall and foot wall.

This is a _____ (normal/reverse) fault

2. This block diagram shows tilted layers that have been cut by a fault, resulting in their displacement. Note again how this feature looks on both the surface of the ground and in the subsurface: vertical offset along the fault results in horizontal offset on the ground surface.

This is a _____ (normal/reverse) fault
