What is another word for normal fault?
Pronunciation: [nˈɔːmə͡l fˈɒlt] (IPA) 
A normal fault is a type of geological fault where the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall due to tensional forces. There are several synonyms for the term "normal fault" that refer to the same type of fault movement. These synonyms include "gravity fault," "tensional fault," "vertical fault," and "slip fault." Some geologists also commonly refer to it simply as a "downward fault." Regardless of the term used, normal faults are an important part of understanding geological processes and the formation of rock formations. Their movement can have significant impacts on the Earth's crust and surface features.
