The hanging wall moves up relative to the foot wall. These happen when tectonic forces push rocks together. It is caused by compression.

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?

What is the opposite of a reverse fault?
A normal fault is the opposite of a reverse fault.
The rocks above a what fault are forced up and over below the fault?

Name three different kinds of faults?
three kinds of faults are normal fault, reverse fault, and strike-slip fault.
Which type of fault is under compression?
Reverse and thrust faults are both under compressive stress.
