The rock gets farther a part from the fault
Rocks along a fault line can break and shift due to tectonic forces, causing movements such as sliding past each other or being compressed together. The friction and pressure along the fault line can lead to earthquakes when the accumulated stress is released suddenly. Over time, the rocks along a fault line can also undergo deformation, such as folding and faulting.
Trust faults typically have low dip angles. A high-angle thrust fault is called a reverse fault. A reverse fault occurs primarily across lithological units where as a thrust usually occurs within or at a low angle to lithological units.
A reverse fault is formed here
The rocks move past each other horizontally.
a reverse fault
Compression forces push against each other, causing the rock layers to slide along a reverse fault. The rocks move upward and over each other, creating a thrust fault with an inclined fault plane. This movement is caused by the compressional stress exerted on the rocks.
Reverse fault
A Reverse fault is happens when tectonic forces cause compression that PUSHES rocks together. Normal fault happens when tectonic forces cause tension that PULLS rocks apart.Normal fault is when the hanging block moves down relative to foot block wall where as the reverse fault is formed when the hanging block wall moves up relative to the foot block walls a result of tension and compression force respectively
No, reverse faults typically place older rocks on top of younger rocks. This is a result of compressional stress in the Earth's crust that pushes rocks upward and over each other along the fault plane.
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.
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.
A reverse fault, my friend.
