reverse fault. but that is when the foot wall moves down, the hanging wall moves up. in a strike-slip fault, they slide past each other, the foot wall and hanging wall are not there because it has to be like this to be a reverse or normal fault: hanging wall ----------foot wall ----------- in this diagram, the foot wall has moved down making the hanging wall move up to form a reverse fault. remember this on tests: the hanging wall is always above the fault line: /hanging wall above foot wall below / /
Fault.
Normal Fault

A normal fault is a fault in which the hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall.

A reverse fault is in a zone of compressional faulting, rocks in the hanging wall are pushed up relative to rocks in the footwall. A normal fault is in a zone of tensional faulting, rocks in the hanging wall drop down relative to those in a footwall forming a normal fault.
A normal fault is a product of tension so the hanging wall of the fault slides down the footwall. If you look into the fault plane, and it slopes from lower left to top right, the (over)hanging wall is on the left and you will see its younger rocks have slid down to meet older ones on the footwall opposite.

In a reverse fault, compression (plates crashing together) causes the hanging wall to move up. In a normal fault, tension ( plates pulling apart) causes the footwall to push up.
