In a reverse fault, where does the hanging wall move relative to the footwall?
goldfiish [28.3K]

The answer is;

The hanging wall rises above the footwall. This type of fault occurs due to compression tectonic movement that squishes the two crusts. This way the faulted section of rock shortens. This is the opposite of normal faults where the hanging wall falls below the footwall. This is due to extension tectonic movements that lengthen the faulted section.

Hello:) anyone able to help me with the 3rd point? I don’t understand it :( thank you !
Stels [109]

The two tectonic plates meet at point one. One is moving under the other, shown by the two arrows on the top pointing towards each other. The denser plate (left side) is subducted. This means the denser plate begins to go under the less dense plate. The lithosphere (crust/tectonic plate) is mainly solid rock. As it begins to go into the mantle it will begin to heat up as the mantle is hotter than the surface. The solid surface becomes a molten rock, known as magma. It melts as it goes down.
