WEBDec 8, 2008 · In a reverse or thrust fault, the hanging wall has moved up relative to the footwall. The distinction between a reverse fault and a thrust fault is that a reverse fault has a steeper dip, greater than 30 degrees. Reverse and thrust faults develop in sectors of the crust that are experiencing compression.

WEBreverse (thrust) fault - a dip-slip fault in which the upper block, above the fault plane, moves up and over the lower block. This type of faulting is common in areas of compression, such as regions where one plate is being subducted under another as in Japan. When the dip angle is shallow, a reverse fault is often described as a thrust fault.

WEBA reverse fault is a dip-slip fault where the hanging wall moves up relative to the foot wall. Reverse faults are generally recognized by the emplacement of older rocks above younger ones, though in areas of complex deformation this is not always the case.

WEBReverse and Thrust Faults. In a reverse or thrust fault, the hanging wall has moved up relative to the footwall. The difference between a reverse fault and a thrust fault is that a reverse fault has a steeper dip, more than 30°.

WEBA reverse fault is called a thrust fault if the dip of the fault plane is small. Other names: thrust fault, reverse-slip fault or compressional fault. Examples: Rocky Mountains, Himalayas. Objectives: The block above the fault moves up relative to the block below the fault. Fault motion is caused by compressional forces and results in shortening.

WEBJan 1, 2014 · The term “reverse fault” applies to the whole range of dip angles for this type of fault, but it is generally used to refer to reverse faults with dip angles greater than ~45° (high-angle reverse fault), whereas reverse faults with lower dip angles are commonly referred to as thrust faults or low-angle reverse faults.
