How are reverse faults different from thrust faults? In what way are they the same?
What will be an ideal response?
Reverse faults and thrust faults more or less have the same direction of motion (hanging wall goes up); however, the angle of the fault plane is different—thrust faults have dip angles less than 45 degrees, resulting in the hanging wall moving somewhat horizontally over the footwall block.
