Normal faults are common.
Along a reverse fault one rocky block is pushed up relative to rock on the other side.
A hanging wall block that has moved down between two normal faults.
Strike slip faults are right lateral or left lateral depending on whether the block on the opposite side of the fault from an observer has moved to the right or left.
Rift valleys are formed by the sliding of the hanging walls downward many thousands of metres where they then become the valley floors.

A scientist observes a fault where the hanging wall has moved upward relative to the footwall.
A low angle reverse fault.
Can you see the foot shaped foot wall and the hanging wall resting or hanging above it.
In a normal the hanging wall slips down relative to the foot wall and the reverse fault has the same structure as a normal fault but the blocks move in the opposite direction.
