    Stress Directions on Faults: Normal, Reverse, and Strike-Slip Faults Explained
    Normal faults:

    - Extensional stress (perpendicular to the fault plane)

    Reverse faults:

    - Compressional stress (perpendicular to the fault plane)

    Strike-slip faults:

    - Shear stress (parallel to the fault plane)
