1·They connect the hanging wall of one fault to the footwall of another fault, and have special deforming feature, beside them on the hanging wall there are transverse anticlines.
转换斜坡连接一条断层的上盘和另一断层的下盘，具有特殊的变形特征，在转换斜坡近旁的断层系上盘伴生横向背斜。
2·If a fault has a vertical fault plane. How do we determine its hanging wall and footwall?
若一断层的断层面是直立的，我们怎么去确定它的上盘和下盘呢？
3·If the relative movement of hanging wall and footwall is parallel to the strike of fault plane it is a strike slip fault.
如果断层上盘和下盘的岩石相对位移运动是平行断层面走向的，这种断层称为走滑断层。
4·Fault plane divides faulted rock into two blocks. The block above the fault plane is called hanging wall; the block below the fault plane is named footwall.
断层面将发生断层的岩石分隔成两个岩块，我们将位于断层面之上的岩块叫做上盘，而将位于断层面之下的岩块称为下盘。
5·The heavy oil is distributed at the handing wall, light oil and gas reservoir at the footwall.
稠油主要分布在断阶带上盘，正常油和轻质油分布在断阶带的下盘及断阶带之间。
