In a reverse fault where does the hanging wall move.

But that is when the foot wall moves down the hanging wall moves up. In reverse fault which way does the footwall and hanging wall move and where are they. It is a flat surface that may be vertical or sloping. In a strike slip fault they slide past each other the foot wall and hanging wall are not there because it has.

The hanging wall will slide upwards right. What type of stress is in a reverse fault. Stress releasing an object. When movement along a fault is the reverse of what you would expect with normal gravity we call them reverse faults.

Stress pulling an object c. The two sides of a non vertical fault are known as the hanging wall and footwall. In a reverse fault the hanging wall does not move while the footwall moves down. Where the fault plane is sloping as with normal and reverse faults.

Stress squeezing an object b. The footwall is located underneath the hanging wall and the footwall is sliding down while the hanging wall is moving upwards. Stress breaking an object d. The fault plane is where the action is.

You probably noticed that the blocks that move on either side of a reverse or normal fault slide up. This terminology comes from mining. In a reverse fault the hanging wall moves up and the footwall moves down. The hanging wall occurs above the fault plane and the footwall occurs below it.
