Question

Normal faults occur from _____ stress and reverse faults occur from _____ stress.

Answer 1

Normal faults occur from compressive stress and the reverse faults occur from tensional stress.

Answer 2

It is the compressive stress that produces normal faults.

Again, when there is tensional stress, reverse faults occur.

There is compression pressure in reverse faults that occur within a certain area.

Again, the opposite movement causes compressive stress and leads to faults.

Mainly it is the stress in any way that is the root cause of any faults as well.
