Normal Fault Model
Product Code : JA-ERAM-4409
The Normal Fault Model (SKU JA-ERAM-4409) is a structural geology model of a normal fault, in which the hanging wall block moves down relative to the footwall block. Normal faults are associated with crustal tension, where the crust is being pulled apart, and they are the faults that bound rift valleys and block mountains. JaincoLab makes this fault model for school geography and college geology teaching, together with its reverse fault and horst and graben models.
