Answer:

Normal fault

Step-by-step explanation:

Tensional stress occurs as a result of forces which could be wind, water etc pulling the rocks apart and forming faults. Faults are also known as a type of fracture which occurs between rocks.

Tensional stress along a fault can result in a dropped hanging-wall block relative to the footwall side(in a perpendicular position) thereby producing a normal fault.
