Document Summary
There are 2 major types of faults: 2 major types of vertical displacement faults: Based on relative movement of hanging wall and foot wall . Hanging wall block on which miner hangs his lamp. Foot wall block on which miner"s feet rest. Hanging wall has moved down relative to foot wall. Hanging wall has moved up relative to foot wall. Special type of reverse fault called a thrust fault. Dip of the fault plane is less than 20 degrees. Rocks are displaced large horizontal distance along a vertical fault. Based on relative movement of rocks on either side of fault -- appear to move to left or to right across fault. Rocks across fault appear to have moved to the left. Rocks across fault appear to have moved to the right. Renewable energy sources regenerate and can be sustained indefinitely. Cannot be replenished (made again) in a short (non-geologic period of time. 4 non-renewable energy sources used most often are:
