Question 8 • RMA FL-2001310-Earth/Space Science Semester 2
In a reverse fault, compression pushes the rocks together, causing the hanging wall to move up relative to the footwall. The fault surface is inclined, and this type of fault is associated with colliding (converging) plates. Tension and plates moving apart are associated with normal faults, where the hanging wall moves down.
