A type of fault, with movement of the Earth's crust, in which a lower stratigraphic layer is pushed up and over a younger one as a result of compression forces
a fault on which the hanging wall appears to have moved up-ward, relative to the footwall, at an angle of 45o or less It is caused by horizontal compression It is a reverse fault with a shallowly dipping fault plane
A reverse fault in which the fault plane is inclined at an angle equal to or less than 45°
Break in the earth's crust from squeezing or compression; the overlying block moves up the dip of the fault plane and the underlying block moves down
