Vertical faults have throw but do not have ..........
Answer: A
Vertical faults have throw but no Heave.
On a cross-section at right angles to the strike, the dip separation of a fault splits into a vertical component, the throw, and a horizontal component, the heave. When the fault plane is vertical, the displacement in that section is entirely vertical, so the heave is zero while the throw remains.
A vertical fault can still have dip slip, which is then purely vertical, and strike slip along its strike, and its slip direction still has a rake, so those options are wrong.
