Below are two blocks with horizontal layers.  In the the movie on the left, you can rotate a block that has already been faulted.  On the right, you can rotate the block and change the offset of the fault. 

Note that the movement is dip-slip, in this case down the dip of the fault. This type of dip-slip fault is called a normal fault (it seems normal for the block above the fault to slip down this way).
