Answer:
Normal and Reverse faults both experience vertical movement. The normal faults are caused due to the extensional forces and the hanging wall moves downwards to the foot wall. this fault causes the lengthening of the faulted section of rock. The hanging wall slides upward in the reverse fault and is caused by the compressional tectonics,the section of rock also shortens due to the reverse fault.

Differentiate between normal fault and reverse fault:
Normal fault:
- A normal fault is a fault involving extensive movement along its fault plane, which involves moving down the hanging wall in relation to the footwall.
- Tensional forces cause a normal fault.
Reverse Fault:
- An opposite fault involves contraction along its fault plane, which involves the movement of the hanging wall in regard to the footwall.
- The Compressional forces cause a reverse fault.
