A reverse fault is a fault in which the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
reverse fault
reverse faults move from compression when the hanging wall moves up

The three major types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Synclines are not faults but rather geological structures that describe the folding of rock layers.
The main direction of the stress on blocks of rock at normal faults, reverse faults and the strike slip faults usually happens at the weak areas.
the best answer is reverse boundary
Reverse failts are caused by compression. Normal faults however are formed by tension.
Faults are created when tectonic plates are stretching or compressing. There are two types of faults which are normal and reverse faults.
The three types of faults are normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults. Normal faults are associated with divergent plate boundaries, reverse faults with convergent plate boundaries, and strike-slip faults with transform plate boundaries.

The three types of faults are Normal faults, Reverse faults, and Strike and Slip fault
Normal faults occur when the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to extensional forces, while reverse faults occur when the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compressional forces. Normal faults are associated with divergent plate boundaries, while reverse faults are associated with convergent plate boundaries.
