(From Tempur-Pedic's Website) Tempur-Pedic mattresses have been designed to be paired with a Tempur-Pedic foundation. However, we understand that some consumers wish to use their existing platform style bed with slats (as opposed to a flat surface) with our mattress.
The type of motion along a fault depends on the type of fault. The main types of faults are described below. 1  Normal dip-slip fault. 2  Normal faults happen in areas where the rocks are pulling apart (tensile forces) so that the rocky crust of an area is able to take up more space. 3  The rock on one side of the fault is moved down relative to the rock on the other side of the fault.
There are three main types of faults - transform, convergent, and divergent - classified by which way the plates are moving. Image by Jose F.

Two plates collided, one slid underneath the other, and a ton of friction built up between the two plates.
