The type of rock in the hanging wall of the Lewis thrust fault may differ from that in the footwall due to the processes of thrust faulting, which can cause older rocks to be pushed over younger rocks. This can result in a complex geological structure where sedimentary rocks in the hanging wall are often older and more deformed compared to the potentially younger, less deformed rocks in the footwall. Additionally, the movement along the fault can lead to the exposure of different rock types, reflecting variations in geological history and composition.
