Question

Answer 2

The movement of crust in a normal fault:

The normal fault is the vertical movement of the earth’s crust where one part of the land moves downward concerning another. This type of fault is caused by the vertical movement of earth’s crust.

The tectonic movement of the earth’s plates led to the formation of different landforms. This normal fault is also caused if one part of the land remains the same and the other part rises. But, it is called reverse fault.
