How are reverse fault created?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Reverse faults are created by compressional stress in the Earth's crust, where the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall. This type of faulting occurs in regions undergoing horizontal compression, often associated with convergent plate boundaries or mountain-building processes. Reverse faults are characterized by a steep angle of fault inclination and can result in uplift and deformation of the Earth's surface.

Answer 3

They are faults because the different waves go closer to the reverse fault and keeps it in place. During a reverse fault plates slide over.
