Faults are created when tectonic plates are stretching or compressing. There are two types of faults which are normal and reverse faults.
The two types of faults that can result in mountains are reverse faults and normal faults.

Reverse or thrust faults will be most common at convergent boundaries.
Because they form in areas of compression such as within the descending slabs of crust at subduction zones. These are in turn the deepest layers within the earth where brittle deformations such as reverse faulting can occur.

Faulting is caused by stress in the rock layers, the stress can break and crack the rock causing a fault. There are two types of faults a normal fault and a reverse fault.
