Normal Fault- The upper block moves downward relative to the lower block.

Reverse Fault - The upper block moves upward relative to the lower block.

Strike-slip Fault - Both blocks slide horizontally across another.

Being aware of faults is a good advantage. Since earthquakes cannot be predicted,

having precise knowledge of nearby faults relative to your current position is very
beneficial and allows you to be more prepared.
The piece of advice I will be willing to give to a person near a fault system will be:
Always be prepared, have an emergency kit that contains materials for first-aid and
other necessities and always be on the lookout for updates about the fault systems.
