Answer:

Reverse fault, Dip-Slip fault, Normal fault, Thrust fault

Step-by-step explanation:

A Fault scarp is usually defined as a step-like feature that occurs on the ground surface, depicting the movement of one block upward relative to the other, along a fault line.

It is caused by the following types of faults, namely:

  • Reverse fault
  • Dip-Slip fault
  • Normal fault
  • Thrust fault

The reverse and the thrust faults are formed due to the compressional stress acting on it from both sides, resulting in the movement of the blocks along the fault line creating a fault scarp.

Similarly, the normal fault and the Dip-slip fault also generates a fault scarp, where the fault is formed because of the extension of the crust.
