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 /

This is true of normal faults. In thrust or reverse faults, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall and in strike slip faults, it moves horizontally relative to the footwall.
A reverse fault is a fault in which the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
A normal fault is a fault in which the hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall.
