| Reverse Fault | Normal faults occur when tensional forces act in opposite directions and cause one slab of rock to be displaced up and the other slab down. |
| Sycline | Folds which bend. |
| Anticline | Folds which bend upwards. |
| Normal Fault | Reverse faults develop when compressional forces exist. Compression causes one block to be pushed up and over the other block. |
