Normal Fault Diagram - Earth Science Educational Illustration #3762315 (License: Personal Use)

This educational illustration depicts a normal fault in a simplified 3D block diagram, showing distinct layers of soil, sediment, and bedrock displaced along a fracture plane. An orange upward arrow marks the footwall (relatively uplifted block), while a downward arrow indicates the hanging wall (subsided block). Surface features like grass and conifer trees remain intact on each block, emphasizing the vertical displacement.

Used in earth science curricula, online geology tutorials, or museum exhibits to explain tectonic processes-especially crustal extension and rift formation. Matches user intent for visual learning, homework help, or teacher resource searches.
