Across
- 4. occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other.
- 5. a geological fault in which the hanging wall appears to have been pushed up along the footwall
- 6. places where plates slide sideways past each other
Down
- 1. a dip-slip fault in which the block above the fault has moved downward relative to the block below
- 2. a location where two tectonic plates are moving toward each other, often causing one plate to slide below the other
- 3. a fault in which rock strata are displaced mainly in a horizontal direction, parallel to the line of the fault.
