     Abnormal, Enormous.]
     [1913 Webster]

        conformed to a type, standard, or regular form; performing

     3. (Chem.) Standard; original; exact; typical. Specifically:
        (a) (Quantitative Analysis) Denoting a solution of such
            strength that every cubic centimeter contains the same

            number of its molecular weight.
        (b) (Chem.) Denoting certain hypothetical compounds, as
            acids from which the real acids are obtained by
            dehydration; thus, normal sulphuric acid and normal

        (c) (Organ. Chem.) Denoting that series of hydrocarbons in

        equations of the first degree equal in number to the
        number of unknown quantities, and derived from the

        unknown quantities.

        --Lyell.
  
     Normal place (of a planet or comet) (Astron.), the apparent

        time, the place having been determined by a considerable
        number of observations, extending perhaps over many days,
        and so combined that the accidental errors of observation
        have largely balanced each other.
  
     Normal school, a school whose methods of instruction are to
        serve as a model for imitation; an institution for the
        training of teachers.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: Normal, Regular, Ordinary.
  
     Usage: Regular and ordinary are popular terms of well-known
            signification; normal has now a more specific sense,
            arising out of its use in science. A thing is normal,
            or in its normal state, when strictly conformed to
            those principles of its constitution which mark its
            species or to the standard of a healthy and natural
            condition. It is abnormal when it departs from those
            principles.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) : [ web1913 ]


  Normal \Nor"mal\, n. [Cf. F. normale, ligne normale. See
     Normal, a.]
     1. (Geom.) Any perpendicular.
  
     2. (Geom.) A straight line or plane drawn from any point of a
        curve or surface so as to be perpendicular to the curve or
        surface at that point.
  
     Note: The term normal is also used to denote the distance
           along the normal line from the curve to the axis of
           abscissas or to the center of curvature.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) : [ web1913 ]


  Fault \Fault\, n.
     1. (Elec.) A defective point in an electric circuit due to a
        crossing of the parts of the conductor, or to contact with
        another conductor or the earth, or to a break in the
        circuit.
  
     2. (Geol. & Mining) A dislocation caused by a slipping of
        rock masses along a plane of facture; also, the dislocated
        structure resulting from such slipping.
  
     Note: The surface along which the dislocated masses have
           moved is called the
  
     fault plane. When this plane is vertical, the fault is a
  
     vertical fault; when its inclination is such that the
        present relative position of the two masses could have
        been produced by the sliding down, along the fault plane,
        of the mass on its upper side, the fault is a
  
     normal, or gravity, fault. When the fault plane is so
        inclined that the mass on its upper side has moved up
        relatively, the fault is then called a
  
     reverse (or reversed), thrust, or overthrust,
     fault. If no vertical displacement has resulted, the fault
        is then called a
  
     horizontal fault. The linear extent of the dislocation
        measured on the fault plane and in the direction of
        movement is the
  
     displacement; the vertical displacement is the
  
     throw; the horizontal displacement is the
  
     heave. The direction of the line of intersection of the
        fault plane with a horizontal plane is the
  
     trend of the fault. A fault is a
  
     strike fault when its trend coincides approximately with
        the strike of associated strata (i.e., the line of
        intersection of the plane of the strata with a horizontal
        plane); it is a
  
     dip fault when its trend is at right angles to the strike;
        an
  
     oblique fault when its trend is oblique to the strike.
        Oblique faults and dip faults are sometimes called
  
     cross faults. A series of closely associated parallel
        faults are sometimes called
  
     step faults and sometimes
  
     distributive faults.
