Dip Slip Normal Fault Diagram. Put them on water so they float against each other. Dip slip motion consists of relative up and down movement along a dipping fault between two blocks the hanging wall and footwall.
Here s what could happen with their relative movements. The green arrow is the dip vector. Jack0m digitalvision vectors getty images strike slip faults have walls that move sideways not up or down that is the slip occurs along the strike not up or down the dip.
The blue arrow is the right hand rule strike.
In these faults the fault plane is usually vertical so there is no hanging wall or footwall. Dip slip movement occurs when the hanging wall moved predominantly up or down relative to the footwall. If the motion was down the fault is called a normal fault if the movement was up the fault is called a reverse fault. The upper block moves downward relative to the lower block.
