Domain-specific¶
- Normal Fault
- A normal fault is a geological structure in which one block of rock has moved downward relative to the adjacent block along a fracture plane, driven by extensional (tensional) stress in the crust: the hanging wall — the block that overlies the fault plane — descends relative to the footwall below it, and the fault plane typically dips at roughly 60° from horizontal so that gravity assists the displacement
This sourceTextbook definition of the hanging wall and footwall and of the hanging-wall-down sense that makes a fault normal, with fault dips around 60 degrees.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
