A reverse fault is the opposite of a normal fault the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
Hanging wall moves up relative to footwall.
Faults occur when opposing forces causes rock to break and move horizontally.
The crust experiences extension.
A fault in which the hanging wall moves up relative to the foot wall.
A fault that does not break the ground surface.
Strike slip faults high angle fault two sides move pass each other horizontally.
Reverse faults high angle fault hanging wall moves up relative to footwall.
Normal fault s are common.
Opposing forces cause rock to break and move horizontally.
This is true of normal faults.
In a reverse fault the hanging wall block moves up relative to the footwall block.
The hanging wall slides down relative to the footwall.
These usually happen when tectonic forces causes compression that pushes rocks together.
When rock layers are squeezed together and pushed upward.
The blind thrust faults often end in a fold.
A fault in which the hanging wall moves down relative to the footwall.
Reverse faults indicate compressive shortening of the crust.
Thrust faults low angle fault hanging wall moves up relative to footwall.
The terminology of normal and reverse comes from coal mining in england where normal faults are the most common.
In thrust or reverse faults the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall and in strike slip faults it moves horizontally relative to the footwall.
The footwall moves down relative to the hanging wall.
They bound many of the mountain ranges of the world and many of the rift valleys found along spreading margins.
The hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall.
The dip of a reverse fault is relatively steep greater than 45.
When movement along a fault is the reverse of what you would expect with normal gravity we call them reverse faults.
The motion of the crustal blocks is referred to as strike slip.
When the hanging wall moves up in relative to the footwall it is called a fault.
The hanging wall will slide upwards right.
Strike slip faults have a different type of movement than normal and reverse faults.
