What force causes a revers fault?

A reverse fault is caused by compressional forces in the Earth's crust, where rocks are pushed together, causing the overlying rock to move up and over the underlying rock along the fault plane. This results in a reverse fault where the hanging wall moves vertically upward in relation to the footwall.


When compression pushes rocks together it creates what type of fault?

When compression pushes rocks together, it creates a reverse fault. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compression forces pushing the rocks together.


What type of force does a reverse fault have?

enrique's balls


Which type of force produces strike-slip fault?

The force that produces a strike slip fault is a shearing force.


What force creates reverse faults?

Reverse faults are caused by compressional forces within the Earth's crust. These forces push rock layers together, causing them to break and move vertically along the fault line. The hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall, creating a steeply inclined fault plane.


What is the opposite of a reverse fault?

A normal fault is the opposite of a reverse fault.

Which type of fault is under compression?

Reverse and thrust faults are both under compressive stress.


At a reverse fault what force pushes on rocks from opposite directions?

In a reverse fault, compressional forces push rocks from opposite directions, causing the rocks to move vertically along the fault plane. The hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to this compressional force.
