Fault is a movement of rocks break down. It has caused many features and wonders in the Earth. There are 3 major faults. The first fault is normal fault. Normal fault is happened when two blocks of crust pull apart from each other. Tucki Mountain is an example of normal fault. It is located in Death Valley National Park, California. It forms the tectonics boundary between Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. The second fault is reverse fault. Reverse fault is happened when one block of crust slides on top of the other. Sierra Madre is an example of reverse fault. It is located in southern california. It forms the tectonic boundary between the Farallon Plate and the North American Plate. The last fault is strike slip. Strike slip is happened when rocks slide along each other. San Andreas Fault is an example of Strike slip. It is located at California. It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. In conclusion, fault has a major role in the Earth. It has created different landforms.
