When rocks move in to each other. When two plates are constantly hitting each other, they form a convergent boundary, which forms a reverse fault. The Compression between these plates (or push) makes one slide above the other. If this happens continuously, one will be above the other, resting on it. This creates a hanging and foot wall.

What is a fault that is formed when compression causes the hanging wall to move over the foot wall is a?
This is called a reverse or thrust fault.
Is the Owens Valley a reverse fault?
The Owens Valley is NOT a reverse fault. This valley is a normal fault.
A what fault moves because it is under compression?
A reverse fault moves because it is under compression. The dip of a reverse fault is relatively steep, greater than 45-degrees.
What fault with a shallow angle is a thrust fault?
Reverse
When a fault is not vertical a hanging wall and what are formed?
a reverse fault
Is a fault-block mountain created by reverse faults?
no
What is the opposite of a reverse fault?

The rocks above a what fault are forced up and over below the fault?

A reverse fault
What fault is made when compression pushes rocks together?
A reverse fault will occur.
Is the Owens Valley a reverse fault?
The Owens Valley is NOT a reverse fault. This valley is a normal fault.
