Faults form in rocks when the stresses overcome the internal strength of the rock resulting in a fracture. A fault can be defined as the displacement of once connected blocks ... Reverse faults develop when compressional forces exist (Figure 10l-10). Compression causes one block to be pushed up and over the other block.

2. Figure 10.6: Faults can form in response to any one of the three types of forces: compression, tension and shear: The type of fault produced, however, depends on the type of force exerted. ... 7. Figure 10.22b: Compressional forces typically push the hanging wall upward relative to the footwall, producing a reverse fault.

These blocks dip and rise along faults in response to pressure underground. One block may move up while the other moves down. Sometimes the movement is enough to form valleys or mountains. Other times that movement ... In contrast, reverse faults occur when underground pressure causes the crust to compress, ... Forces and changes:

Different kinds of faults form in response to different arrangements of maximum and minimum pressure directions. ... Reverse Faults form when pressure from one lateral direction is greatest, and vertical pressure (gravitational pressure) ... In a reverse fault, the hanging wall goes up, pushed by strong forces from the sides.

This divergent movement is in response to forces in the Earth’s mantle. ... Reid proposed that faults remain locked while strain energy slowly accumulates in surrounding rock. When rock strength is exceeded and rocks fracture, the fault slips suddenly, releasing energy in the form of heat and seismic waves.
