What type of fault is characterized by the hanging walling moving upward relative to the footwall opposite of the way that is naturally occurring by gravity?
The type of fault characterized by the hanging wall moving upward relative to the footwall is called a reverse fault. In a reverse fault, the movement occurs due to compressional forces, which push the rock masses together, causing the hanging wall to be thrust up over the footwall. This movement is opposite to that of a normal fault, where the hanging wall moves downward. Reverse faults are commonly associated with mountain-building processes and tectonic collisions.

What is the opposite to naturally occurring?
The opposite of naturally occurring would be artificially created or man-made.
What is the opposite of natural attrition?
The opposite of natural attrition would be artificial or forced attrition, where employees are intentionally let go rather than leaving naturally.
Does the part of a normal fault that lies on top is called a reverse wall?
No, the part of a normal fault that lies on top is called the hanging wall. In a reverse fault, the hanging wall is thrust over the footwall, which is the opposite of what occurs in a normal fault.
What is the opposite reaction of a Catalyst?

What is the opposite of tropical?
The opposite of tropical is temperate or cold. Tropical climates are characterized by high temperatures and humidity, while temperate climates have milder temperatures and distinct seasons.
What is the opposite to naturally occurring?
The opposite of naturally occurring would be artificially created or man-made.
Normal and reverse faults are characterized mainly by?
Normal faults are characterized by the hanging wall moving down relative to the footwall, while reverse faults are characterized by the hanging wall moving up relative to the footwall. Both faults are caused by compressional forces in the Earth's crust, but their movements are opposite in direction.
What is the opposite of still?
The opposite of being still could be moving, or restless, wiggly, jumpy.The opposite of still occurring (at this time) would be "no longer" occurring.
What word means contractions occurring on opposite sides of the body?
Contralateral
How does a rock move on a normal fault?
A normal fault is a product of tension so the hanging wall of the fault slides down the footwall. If you look into the fault plane, and it slopes from lower left to top right, the (over)hanging wall is on the left and you will see its younger rocks have slid down to meet older ones on the footwall opposite.
