Reverse and thrust faults are both under compressive stress.

∙ 15y agoI think the answer is normal faults, but I am not positive. I just know that compression causes reverse faults.

What is the type of stress for a reverse fault?
In a reverse fault the maximum principal stress is horizontal, compression causes reverse (thrust) faults.
How does a fault moves when it is under compression?
forwrd against each other
What is a fault caused by compression forces?
Reverse Fault
What fault formed as a result of horizontal compression?
normal fault
Which type of fault is under tension?
Normal Thrust
What type of FAULT is the result of compression forces?
a reverse fault
When compression pushes rocks together it creates what type of fault?
A reverse or thrust fault.
A what fault moves because it is under compression?
A reverse fault moves because it is under compression. The dip of a reverse fault is relatively steep, greater than 45-degrees.
What type of fault implies extension?
A 'normal' fault implies extension, as opposed to a 'thrust' fault which implies compression.
What type of fault occurs because of compression?
reverse faults
What is the type of stress for a reverse fault?
In a reverse fault the maximum principal stress is horizontal, compression causes reverse (thrust) faults.
How does a fault moves when it is under compression?

What type of fault usually occur because of compression?
reverse faults
What type of fault occurs when compression forces push one of the fault upward and the other side downward?
thrust A+
Which type of force produces strike-slip fault?
The force that produces a strike slip fault is a shearing force.
What type of fault occurs when compression forces push one side of the fault upward and the other side downward?
thrust A+
What type of fault occur when compression force push one side of the fault upward and the other side downward?
thrust A+
