Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a reverse fault, also known as a thrust fault, the fault plane is inclined at an angle greater than 30° from horizontal, and the hanging-wall block moves upward relative to the footwall block. A detachment fault is characterized by low-angle faults where the footwall block slides downward, and a normal fault is where the hanging-wall block moves downward relative to the footwall block.
