(from the article `fault`) Reverse dip-slip faults result from horizontal compressional forces caused by a shortening, or contraction, of the Earth`s crust. The hanging wall ...
A rupture that results from vertical motion of two adjacent blocks caused by horizontal compression. Sometimes called a thrust fault. In a reverse fault, the upper of the two adjacent blocks moves relatively upward. (See Figure 1 and normal fault.) 
A dip-slip fault marked by a hanging wall that has moved upward relative to the footwall. Reverse faults are often caused by the convergence of lithospheric plates.
A fault with vertical movement and an inclined fault plane. The block above the fault has moved upwa
A fault in which the hanging wall has moved upward in relation to the footwall; a high angle thrust fault.
This vertical fault develops when compressional force causes the displacement of one block of rock over another.
A dip-slip fault on which the hanging wall block is offset upward relative to the foot wall block . compare normal fault .
a fault where rock has moved up the fault surface against the rock on the other side as a result of tectonic compression.
