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.

Occurs when the hanging wall moves up relative to a footwall?

This is called a reverse fault. It occurs when compressional forces cause the hanging wall to move up relative to the footwall along a steeply inclined fault plane. Reverse faults are commonly found in areas where tectonic plates are colliding or converging.

This type of fault occurs when rock above the fault moves upward at the fault line?

A reverse fault occurs when rock above the fault moves upward at the fault line. This type of fault is associated with compressional stress where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall. Reverse faults are common in regions undergoing compression, such as convergent plate boundaries.


What is a Reverse faults?
