Answer: Normal Fault.

Explanation: When the tectonic plates are separated from each other, tension is applied to the rock layers and a normal fault or also called direct or gravity fault occurs. This action occurs when the block located at the top, slides down the fixed wall, causing the appearance of tensile forces in the rock layers.
