- In error
  Normal dip-slip faults are produced by vertical pinch as Earth'south crust lengthens. The hanging wall slides down relative to the footwall. Normal faults are mutual; they bound many of the mountain ranges of the world and many of the rift valleys found along spreading margins…

  …to the dip is called dip-slip faulting. Strike-slip faults are right lateral or left lateral, depending on whether the block on the opposite side of the fault from an observer has moved to the correct or left. In dip-slip faults, if the hanging-wall block moves down relative to the footwall…

  volcanism and cake faulting. The relative contribution of each may depend on the spreading rate. At slower rates, faulting of the oceanic crust is a ascendant factor in forming the relief, and the relief of the hills is greater as the rate is slower. At the crest…

- In Death Valley: Concrete environment
  …type of fault activity called block faulting, in which the move is predominantly vertical, began to grade the valley about thirty 1000000 years ago. As crustal blocks sank, they formed the dandy trough of the valley, and other blocks were uplifted to gradually course the side by side mountain ranges. As the…

Lake Baikal
- In Russia: The mountains of the southward and due east
  …Baikal is 1 of massive block faulting in which major faults dissever high plateaus and mountain ranges from deep valleys and basins. The scale of relief in this area is indicated by the fact that the floor of the lake at its deepest is more than iii,800 feet (one,160 metres)…
