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.
The hanging wall moves up relative to footwall in a?
Reverse Fault
Which type of fault is under compression?
Reverse and thrust faults are both under compressive stress.
What is the difference between a reverse and normal fault and how does stress relate to the formation of each?
In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compressional stress. This type of fault occurs in convergent plate boundary settings. Conversely, in a normal fault, the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall due to extensional stress, which is typically associated with divergent plate boundaries. Stress plays a crucial role in determining the type of fault that forms in response to the tectonic forces acting on the rock.
If a fault occurs in an area where rock layers have been folded which type of fault is it likely to be?
If a fault occurs in an area where rock layers have been folded, the type of fault it is likely to be is thrust faulting. This type of fault will have the ground on one side of the fault, move up and over adjacent ground.
What type of fault is produced by compressive stress?
Reverse!
What stress causes a fault?
In a reverse fault the maximum principal stress is horizontal, compression causes reverse (thrust) faults.
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.

Reverse Fault
What types of faults formed in compressional stress?
reverse fault

What type of fault is at a folded mountain?
Reverse Fault
By what type of fault were the sierra mountains formed?
Normal fault, i believe is true.
Are reverse faults rock layers placed under tensional stress?
No, reverse faults occur in response to compressional stress, not tensional stress. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compression forces pushing the rocks together.
What type of FAULT is the result of compression forces?
a reverse fault
What is falting rock?
Faulting is caused by stress in the rock layers, the stress can break and crack the rock causing a fault. There are two types of faults a normal fault and a reverse fault.
