A normal fault is a fault in which the hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall.
In a normal fault, the hanging wall of the fault moves down relative to the foot wall. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves upward relative to the foot wall.
The hanging wall in a reverse fault moves up relative to the footwall
The answer would be upward
it would be upwards
thrust
A reverse fault is in a zone of compressional faulting, rocks in the hanging wall are pushed up relative to rocks in the footwall. A normal fault is in a zone of tensional faulting, rocks in the hanging wall drop down relative to those in a footwall forming a normal fault.
In a normal fault, the fault is at an angle, so one block of rock lies above the fault while the other lies below it. The rock above it is the hanging wall and the rock below it is the footwall. In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves downwards relative to the footwall.
This is called a reverse or thrust fault.
a reverse fault
The Owens Valley is NOT a reverse fault. This valley is a normal fault.
Normal faults are where the hanging wall drops in relation to the foot wall where as with the reverse fault the hanging wall is pushed higher over the foot wall.
The movement of the Hanging wall in the normal fault downward with the gravity whereas in the Reverse fault the hanging wall moved upward against the gravity
normal fault
This is true of normal faults. In thrust or reverse faults, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall and in strike slip faults, it moves horizontally relative to the footwall.
thrust
No, that is called a reverse fault.
its when the hanging and foot wall push together and the hanging wall goes upward a normal fault is the other way around when the walls are pulled apart and the hanging wall goes down Reverse-Convergent Normal- Divergent

It moves downward.. the force behind it is tension
