Hanging Wall Moves Up Relative To Footwall

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