Upthrust is application of force or pressure to cause movement in an upward direction. Geologically speaking, it's an upheaval of the surface of the Earth, sometimes quick and violent and sometimes slow and extended over thousands of years.
The Wikipedia link listed below relates it to buoyancy, with regard to the field of physics.

What does the force downthrust do?
Downthrust is a term used in the context of propellers or rotors, referring to the force they generate that pushes an object or aircraft in the downward direction. This force helps to counteract the lift force produced by the wings and keep the aircraft stable during flight, preventing it from climbing uncontrollably. It is crucial for maintaining the aircraft's altitude and overall stability in the air.
Is it true that lighter airplanes fly further?
Yes. It is true that lighter airplanes fly farther. More weight means more down thrust is acting on the plane. This means traveling less distance. But less weight means less downthrust. So the airplane flies farther.
How do lakes form by tectonic plates?
Everything on Earth is on a tectonic plates. Some lakes form as a result of plate tectonics, but not all. Lakes may form in between mountains or downthrust areas created by plate tectonics. In other cases, though, lakes may form in impact or volcanic craters, areas carved out by glaciers, or on streams dammed by landslides. There are even man-made lakes.
What is the difference between fault-block and upwarped mountains?
Uplifted is a term that is applied to a mass of rock that is pushed up by geologic forces. Uplifting can occur in a few different ways and can be accompanied by faulting. A fault block is a mass of rock that is separated from the surrounding rock by faults. Depending on the setting a fault block may be uplifted (move up), be downthrust (move down), or may move sideways with out vertical movement.
