NGSS.HS-ESS2-1

Match the following:

• Convergent boundary

• Strike-Slip Fault

• Divergent boundary

• Normal fault

• Transform boundary

• Reverse (thrust) fault

A dip-slip fault in which the block above the fault has moved downward relative to the block below. This type of faulting occurs in response to extension: ​ (a)  

• normal fault
• reverse (thrust) fault
• strike-slip fault
• tsunami
• epicenter
• focus
• aftershock
• foreshock

NGSS.HS-ESS2-1

A dip-slip fault in which the upper block, above the fault plane, moves up and over the lower block. This type of faulting is common in areas of compression, such as regions where one plate is being subducted under another: ​ (a)  

• reverse (thrust) fault
• normal fault
• strike-slip fault
• tsunami
• epicenter
• focus
• aftershock
• foreshock

NGSS.HS-ESS2-1

A fault on which the two blocks slide past one another: ​​ (a)  

• normal fault
• tsunami
• epicenter
• focus
• aftershock
• foreshock
• reverse (thrust) fault
• strike-slip fault
