thrust
What fault will the hanging wall move down relative to the footwall?

What characteristics of a fault tell you whether it is a normal fault or a reverse fault?
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.
What is it when something occurs when the hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall?
