(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.
The Earth's lithosphere is extremely active, as continental and oceanic plates constantly pull apart, collide and scrape alongside each other. When they do, they form faults. There are different types of faults: reverse faults, strike-slip faults, oblique faults, and normal faults. In essence, faults are large cracks in the Earth's surface where parts of the crust move in relation to one another.
