A reverse fault is a type of geological fault where the hanging wall moves upward relative to the footwall, typically due to compressional forces. This movement occurs at a steeper angle, often between 30 to 70 degrees. Reverse faults are commonly found in mountainous regions and are associated with convergent tectonic plate boundaries. They can lead to significant geological features, such as thrust faults, and are important in understanding seismic activity and earthquake risks in affected areas.
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.
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
When compression pushes rocks together it creates what type of fault?
When compression pushes rocks together, it creates a reverse fault. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compression forces pushing the rocks together.
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?

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.

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 is a real life example of a reverse fault?
The Sierra Madre fault zone of southern California is an example of a reverse fault. There is also a reverse fault near the Sun River in Lewis and Clark county,candyland
