The three main types of faults are normal faults, reverse (or thrust) faults, and strike-slip faults. Normal faults occur when the crust is extended, causing one block of rock to move downward relative to another. Reverse faults happen when the crust is compressed, pushing one block up over another. Strike-slip faults involve horizontal movement, where two blocks slide past each other laterally.
