A reverse fault in which the upper rocks above the fault plane move up and over the lower rocks at an angle of 30o or less so that older strata are placed over younger.
A thrust fault is a type of fault, or break in the Earth`s crust across which there has been relative movement, in which rocks of lower stratigraphic position are pushed up and over higher strata. They are often recognized because they place older rocks above younger. Thrust faults are the result of compressional forces. ==Thrust geometry and nom....
(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 ... ...and their position in the structure implies a genetic relationship between the two. For example, one of the major structural features in the ... The struc...
A low-angle fault in which rock above the fault plane moves up in relation to rock below.
See reverse fault and Figure 1. 
A reverse fault marked by a dip of 45� or less.
A dip-slip fault in which the upper block above the fault plane moves up and over the lower block, s
A low-angle fault (45 degrees or less) in which the hanging wall has moved upward in relation to the footwall. Thrust faults are characterized by horizontal compression rather than by vertical displacement.
A geologic fault where the hanging wall is forced over the foot wall.
A dip-slip fault in which the upper block above the fault plane moves up and over the lower block, so that older strata are placed over younger.
[n] - a geological fault in which the upper side appears to have been pushed upward by compression
overthrust fault noun a geological fault in which the upper side appears to have been pushed upward by compression
A reverse fault on which the dip angle of the fault plane is 15 degrees or less.
a shallow-sloping reverse fault where a (often large) region of rock has slid up and over another.
