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.
