Answer: Answers are below.

Explanation: The box to the left is a footwall, the middle box is the fault plane, and the box to the right is a hanging wall. Blocks that lie above a fault plane are called a hanging wall and blocks that lie below a fault plane are called a footwall.

Let me know if this is right! :)
