(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.
As Pangea started to break apart, the crust was stretched and thinned (much like a stiff wad of chewing gum), and it fractured in places to produce faults. The specific type of fault associated with a rift basin is called a normal fault. Along a normal fault, one block moves up and the opposite block moves down.
