When rocks move in to each other. When two plates are constantly hitting each other, they form a convergent boundary, which forms a reverse fault. The Compression between these plates (or push) makes one slide above the other. If this happens continuously, one will be above the other, resting on it. This creates a hanging and foot wall.
What else can I help you with?
What is a fault that is formed when compression causes the hanging wall to move over the foot wall is a?
This is called a reverse or thrust fault.
Is the fault-block created by two reverse faults?
No, a fault-block is not typically created by two reverse faults. Reverse faults involve the upward movement of rock layers, and when two reverse faults occur in close proximity, they can create a complex structure but do not directly form a fault-block. Fault-blocks are more commonly associated with normal faults, where blocks of the Earth's crust are pulled apart, resulting in sections that drop down relative to others. In summary, while reverse faults can influence the landscape, they do not create fault-blocks in the same manner as normal faults do.
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 fault with a shallow angle is a thrust fault?
Reverse
What type of FAULT is the result of compression forces?
a reverse fault
Is a fault-block mountain created by reverse faults?
no
What is the opposite of a reverse fault?
A normal fault is the opposite of a reverse fault.
The rocks above a what fault are forced up and over below the fault?
A reverse fault is formed here
What fault occurs at a convergent boundary.?
A reverse fault
What is a fault that is formed when compression causes the hanging wall to move over the foot wall is a?
This is called a reverse or thrust fault.
By what type of fault were the sierra mountains formed?
Normal fault, i believe is true.

What are the three faults in scienceNomal Fault Reverse fault and?

The hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall in a?
Reverse Fault
Name three different kinds of faults?
three kinds of faults are normal fault, reverse fault, and strike-slip fault.
What are some fault?
normal fault reverse fault slip strike fault
What are the 3 fault's?
normal fault, reverse fault, strike-slip fault,
