Reverse faults are exactly the opposite of normal faults. If the hanging wall rises relative to the footwall, we have a reverse fault. Reverse faults occur in areas undergoing compression.
In a reverse fault, the block above the fault moves up relative to the block below the fault. This fault motion is caused by compressional forces and results in shortening. A reverse fault is called a thrust fault if the dip of the fault plane is small or very less.
