Answer:

There are different types of faults: reverse faults, strike-slip faults, oblique faults, and normal faults. ... The crack itself does not make it a fault, but rather the movement of the plates on either side is what designates it as a fault.

Answer:  

There are four types of faulting -- normal, reverse, strike-slip, and oblique. A normal fault is one in which the rocks above the fault plane, or hanging wall, move down relative to the rocks below the fault plane, or footwall. A reverse fault is one in which the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.

Explanation:    form when the hanging wall moves up.
