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 /

What else can I help you with?
In A Blank Fault The Hanging Wall Moves Up Relative To The Footwall?
In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, whereas in a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
In a hanging fault the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall?
thrust
When the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall it is a fault.?
Yes, when the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall along a fault, it is known as a reverse fault. Reverse faults are caused by compressional forces in the Earth's crust, leading to the hanging wall moving up and over the footwall.
What are the 2 types of faultung?
The two main types of faulting are normal faulting, where the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, and reverse faulting, where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
The hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall in a?
Reverse Fault
In A Blank Fault The Hanging Wall Moves Up Relative To The Footwall?
In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, whereas in a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
Is a hanging wall the same as a footwall?
No, a hanging wall and a footwall are not the same in geology. The hanging wall is the block of rock above a fault line that moves down relative to the footwall, which is the block of rock below the fault line that moves up.
In a hanging fault the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall?
thrust
When the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall it is a fault.?
Yes, when the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall along a fault, it is known as a reverse fault. Reverse faults are caused by compressional forces in the Earth's crust, leading to the hanging wall moving up and over the footwall.
When the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall it is a fault .?
Thrust
When the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall is it a fault.?
Thrust
How does the hanging wall in a normal fault move in relation to a reverse fault?
In a normal fault, the hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall, creating extensional forces. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall, generating compressional forces.
What are the 2 types of faultung?
The two main types of faulting are normal faulting, where the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall, and reverse faulting, where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
The hanging wall slides up and down over the footwall is called?
That geological structure is called a normal fault, where the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall. If the hanging wall slides up and over the footwall, it is known as a reverse fault.
The hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall in a?
Reverse Fault
What is a Reverse faults?
A reverse fault is a fault in which the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
What is the difference between a hanging wall and a foot wall?
In geology, the hanging wall refers to the rock layer above a fault plane, while the footwall refers to the rock layer below the fault plane. The hanging wall moves downward relative to the footwall in a normal fault, whereas in a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
