A reverse fault is caused by compressional forces in the Earth's crust, where rocks are pushed together, causing the overlying rock to move up and over the underlying rock along the fault plane. This results in a reverse fault where the hanging wall moves vertically upward in relation to the footwall.
a pulling motion causes a normal fault
In a reverse fault, compression (plates crashing together) causes the hanging wall to move up. In a normal fault, tension ( plates pulling apart) causes the footwall to push up.
The force that is causing movement at this fault is called tectonic force. These forces are generated by the movement and interaction of the Earth's tectonic plates.
A normal fault causes the land to move downward. This type of fault is formed when the hanging wall drops down relative to the footwall, often due to tensional forces pulling the plates apart.
A lateral fault is when Shearing causes rock blocks to slide horizontally past each other.
Tensional stress from divergent plate boundaries causes a normal fault to form. This stress pulls rocks apart along a fault line, causing the hanging wall to drop relative to the footwall.
The stress that causes strike-slip faults is produced by a shearing force and so is called shear stress.
a pulling motion causes a normal fault
The force that produces a strike slip fault is a shearing force.
'..... is measured on the Richter scale.'Transform Fault Boundaries.the plate of the earth pushes oppositedirections and that causes the earth to shake
a compression force would cause a normal fault. i rember by the name compress "press" together
normal fault
A strike-slip fault

In a reverse fault the maximum principal stress is horizontal, compression causes reverse (thrust) faults.
Friction This movement is also known as Transform plat boundary Movement
The force that causes rocks on either side of a fault to slide past each other is the built-up stress along the fault line, which is released as the two sides move in opposite directions. This stress can accumulate due to tectonic plate movements, leading to the sudden release of energy in the form of an earthquake.
