The first one slides up the second, rather than sliding down it like you'd see in a normal fault.

Is a reverse fault often located along a divergent plate boundary or convergent?
A reverse fault is often found at convergent plate boundaries.
Why are thrust fault reverse faults and folds commonly found in the same place?
Thrust faults and reverse faults are essentially the same, the only difference being the angle: thrust faults have a shallow angle of 45 degrees or less from horizontal. Reverse (thrust) faults and folds usually indicate rock being compressed. In many cases folds develop along reverse faults as one fault block is dragged along another, with an anticline forming in the hanging wall.
Where are fault lines normally located?
There are thousands of fault lines all over the world. A fault line is a surface trait of a fault. These are described as an intersection line found between the fault plain and the earth's surface.
What type of plate boundary causes a reverse fault?
In an ideal world this would be a margin that involves some element of compression, so you're looking at a compressional (orogenic) or subducting margin. Anywhere where the crust is thickened generally involves reverse, also known as thrust, faulting.
What are the features found at a transform boundary?
The most common feature found at a transform boundary is a fault. An example of this is the San Andreas Fault Line.

Why do most earthquakes occur near or along a fault?

What types of faults would you expect to find in these mountains?
Reverse faulting is found in the Himalayas. With a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
Where are fault lines normally located?
There are thousands of fault lines all over the world. A fault line is a surface trait of a fault. These are described as an intersection line found between the fault plain and the earth's surface.
What type of plate boundary is found along the West Coast of Central America?
a tectonic plate fault-
How does a thrust fault form?
A high-angle fault under compression
What type of plate boundary causes a reverse fault?
In an ideal world this would be a margin that involves some element of compression, so you're looking at a compressional (orogenic) or subducting margin. Anywhere where the crust is thickened generally involves reverse, also known as thrust, faulting.
Where can fault - block mountains be found?
Fault-block mountain: Mountain that forms along a normal fault where stress causes huge blocks of rock to tilt up.
Which fault would be found on divergent boundary?
Normal fault.
Give an example of a couplet poem?
i found a starfish in the bay, when i was fishing yesterday starfish, starfish in the ocean moving along in slow motion
The following fault should be found on flexible cords and cable with the exception of?
The fault that should not be found on flexible cords and cable is the ground fault.Faults that should not be found on flexible cords and cable is the ground fault.
