I know of no structure caused by pairs of reverse faults. Pairs of normal faults can cause "horsts" and "graben". However in horizontal stress fields where the maximum principle stress is parallel to the Earth's surface and the minimum principle stress is normal to the Earth's surface only one one fault surface/plane usually develops (which may be imbricated) as the shortening and thickening usually build away from the source of compression. Also as the crust thickens the principal stress will not remain normal to Earth's surface for long.

Reverse faults at very high strains therefore merge into napes or subduction zones.

What are the characteristics of Lewis structure formulas?

Lewis structure formulas are flat graphical formulas which do not contain any 3D information. A line in a Lewis structure represents a single bond formed between two electrons, while a pair of dots can be used to show a bonding pair or a pair of non-bonding electrons.
