    normal fault

    Explanation:

    The scientist observes normal fault.

    Normal fault is a geologic fault where the hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall. Normal faults usually occur in areas where two blocks of rock is pulled apart or stretched as a result of tension. The downward sliding of normal faults produces mountains, valleys and rifts. An example of a normal fault is the Humboldt Fault in Kansas.
