A reverse fault
reverse
A reverse fault generally occurs at a convergent boundary where two tectonic plates collide and one is forced over the other, causing compression and uplift of the Earth's crust.
You can find it on a convergent boundary
A convergent boundary is a reverse fault. It's a reverse fault because it it pushing together, while a divergent boundary is a normal fault because 2 plates are pushing away from each other.

A reverse fault
Along a convergent plate boundary, you typically find a reverse fault or thrust fault. This type of fault occurs when the two tectonic plates are pushing against each other, causing one plate to be forced up and over the other plate. This movement can lead to earthquakes and mountain building.
In a convergent boundary
No. The Valdivia earthquake was on a convergent boundary.
A convergent boundary is a type of fault where two tectonic plates collide, causing compression forces that lead to the plates being pushed together. This can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and powerful earthquakes.
A convergent boundary is formed when plates collide. At this type of boundary, the denser plate sinks beneath the less dense plate in a process known as subduction. This collision often results in the formation of mountain ranges, volcanoes, and deep ocean trenches.
