n: upward or downward displacement along a fault plane.

n: a surface along which faulting has occurred.

the plane or direction along which fault movement has occurred.

n: the rock surface forming the underside of a fault when the fault plane is not vertical-that is, if the dip is less than 90�.Compare hanging wall.

n: the rock surface forming the upper side of a fault when the fault plane is not vertical-that is, if the dip is less than 90. Compare footwall.

the body of rock that lies above an inclined fault plane.

a fault along which there is increasing offset or separation along the strike of the fault plane. Measured from the initial point of separation.

n: slip at an angle between the dip and the strike in a fault plane.

n: the horizontal direction of a formation bed or fault plane as measured at a right angle to the dip.

the compass direction of a feature such as a flood plane or fault.

n: horizontal displacement along a fault plane. The San Andreas fault in California is a strike-slip fault.
