Draw a cross section with a tree growing out of Earth’s surface (so I know which side is the surface). Add a dipping joint and label the hanging wall and footwall blocks.
Draw a second cross section (again with a tree on the surface of the Earth) that shows how Earth’s surface would be offset along this joint if it turned into a normal fault. Label the hanging wall and footwall and use arrows to indicate the motion of the hanging wall relative to the footwall.
Now draw a third cross section with all the same elements as in parts A and B, but for a trust/reverse fault.
Imagine the same cross section either in three dimensions, or in a bird’s-eye view from top down. Draw what this area would look like after a right-lateral strike-slip fault. Label the strike of the fault and use arrows to show directions of movement
