Final answer:

Normal faults involve hanging wall moving down, reverse faults have hanging wall moving up, and thrust faults involve allochthonous and autochthonous blocks.


Explanation:

Normal faults occur when the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to tensional stress. An example of a location with normal faulting is the Teton Mountains in North America.

Reverse faults happen when the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compression. Thrust faults are a type of reverse fault with a gentle dip angle of less than 30°.

For thrust faults, the block that moves is called the allochthonous block that is thrust over the autochthonous block.
