A reverse fault is often found at convergent plate boundaries.
A convergent boundary is a type of fault where two tectonic plates collide, causing compression forces that lead to the plates being pushed together. This can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and powerful earthquakes.
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.

reverse
A reverse fault generally occurs at a convergent boundary where two tectonic plates collide and one is forced over the other, causing compression and uplift of the Earth's crust.
A convergent boundary is a reverse fault. It's a reverse fault because it it pushing together, while a divergent boundary is a normal fault because 2 plates are pushing away from each other.

A reverse fault
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.

A reverse fault is typically formed at a convergent plate boundary where two tectonic plates are colliding. The movement along the fault results in one block of rock moving up and over the other block.
