disagree  Chris Ellison: OK for "al" see my added note, you are right, I overinterpreted, but re: normal faults, this is such a typical phrase in geology that I can't think anyone would mean it in the way you suggest because of the confusion, although linguistically you're right.

  -> You obviously don't undestand the meaning of "normal a"... "normal to", which means perpendicular to something.

disagree  Cristian Garcia: I think the normal faults do not form any boundary, they are in the boundary, if you continue reading the Spanish phrase it reads "jugaron en un sistema inverso". I think this is the effect of the normal faults.
5 hrs
  -> I agree and disagree with you at the same time. I wrote a note to say "at the boundary" ;) Also you're right they are parallel to the boundary, within the boundary, but not "normal to" as in the other answers. Thanks for your comment - it's very helpful.
