The 22 pages that link to Normal fault, each with the reason it gives.

• East African RiftRelated: Thousands of normal faults step the ground down into the rift and up onto its shoulders.

• Continental riftingRelated: Normal faults accommodate much of the brittle extension in rift zones.

• Basin and Range ProvinceRelated: Normal faults bound many ranges and basins as the crust stretches.

• Fault (geology)Broader topic: It records extension, one common regime of fault formation.

• Rift valleyRelated: Stretching commonly drops crustal blocks along normal faults, creating the valley’s steep sides.

• Thrust faultCompared with: Normal motion lengthens crust, opposite to the shortening associated with thrusting.

• Great Rift ValleyRelated: Normal faults bound many of the valley’s steep escarpments and basins.

• Albertine RiftRelated: Normal faults create the rift's steep escarpments and subsiding basins.

• Baikal Rift ZoneRelated: Normal faults accommodate much of the crustal stretching around Lake Baikal.

• Apennine MountainsRelated: Extension across parts of the range produces faults that can generate damaging earthquakes.

• Tectonic subsidenceRelated: Movement on normal faults can drop crustal blocks and create subsiding basins.

• Continental riftRelated: Normal faults accommodate the crustal stretching that shapes many rift basins.

• West Antarctic Rift SystemRelated: Normal faults accommodate the stretching that shaped the rift’s basins.

• Oceanic core complexNarrower topic: Detachment faults are a distinctive, low-angle form of normal faulting.

• Rift lakeRelated: Normal faults commonly bound the steep sides of rift-lake basins.

• Wasatch RangeNarrower topic: Normal faulting along the range’s western side produced its sharp mountain front.

• Focal mechanismCompared with: Its extension-related motion produces a different mechanism pattern from reverse faulting.

• Pull-apart basinRelated: Normal faults commonly bound the subsiding blocks within a pull-apart basin.

• Detachment faultNarrower topic: Detachment faults accommodate extension through normal-sense displacement, often across unusually shallow dips.

• Teton RangeNarrower topic: The Teton Fault is a normal fault that separates the range from Jackson Hole.

• Borah PeakRelated: Normal faulting built the steep range-front relief beside Borah Peak.

• Fault blockRelated: Extension along normal faults commonly drops one block relative to its neighbor.
