What is another word for inclined fault?
Pronunciation: [ɪnklˈa͡ɪnd fˈɒlt] (IPA) 
An "inclined fault" is a geological term used to describe a type of fault where the hanging wall and footwall are not parallel but angled. Some common synonyms for inclined fault include dip slip fault, oblique slip fault, or non-vertical fault. A reverse fault is another type of fault that shares some characteristics with an inclined fault, where the hanging wall moves up and over the footwall due to compressional forces. A thrust fault is yet another type of fault where the hanging wall moves over the footwall but at a very shallow angle. Understanding these different types of faults helps geologists to better analyze geological structures and seismic activity in an area.
