In a reverse fault where does the hanging wall move.

You probably noticed that the blocks that move on either side of a reverse or normal fault slide up. When working a tabular ore body the miner stood with the footwall under his feet and with the hanging wall above him. When movement along a fault is the reverse of what you would expect with normal gravity we call them reverse faults. Where the fault plane is sloping as with normal and reverse faults.

The footwall is located underneath the hanging wall and the footwall is sliding down while the hanging wall is moving upwards. Stress breaking an object d. In a reverse fault the hanging wall does not move while the footwall moves down. In reverse fault which way does the footwall and hanging wall move and where are they.

The hanging wall occurs above the fault plane and the footwall occurs below it. What type of stress is in a reverse fault. Strike slip faults have a different type of movement than normal and reverse faults. Hanging wall and footwall.

But that is when the foot wall moves down the hanging wall moves up. The hanging wall will slide upwards right. The two sides of a non vertical fault are known as the hanging wall and footwall. This terminology comes from mining.

It is a flat surface that may be vertical or sloping.
