    Normal faults form when the earth's crust is pulled apart due to tensional forces. This causes one side of the rock to drop down relative to the other side, leaving a fault plane. Normal faults are common features in areas where the crust is extending, such as along mid-ocean ridges or in basins between mountain ranges. They are important in structuring sedimentary basins and influencing fluid flow.
