The Heart Mountain Detachment is a rare example of one of these caused entirely by gravity. Material above its plane is known as the hanging wall while that below is the footwall. A change in their size can form breccia, gouge, or slickensides and, when two of the normal kind approach each other, a graben or horst may be created in between them. Types include thrust, transform dip-slip, oblique-slip, and strike-slip. FTP, plate boundaries are a common place to find what fractures in the crust, such as the New Madrid and San Andreas, where earthquakes usually occur?
