fallas sísmicas

There are several types of earthquake faults including:

  • normal: the hanging wall (the fault that moves) slides down the foot wall (stationary).
  • reverse: the hanging wall slides up the foot wall.
  • strike-slip: the hanging wall moves sideways.
  • thrust: a reverse fault where the fault angle is 45° or less.
