When rock is subjected to compressive force, it may fault. if rocks in the hanging wall are pushed up over rocks in the foot wall, it is called a reverse fault.
Reverse faults are caused by compressive force, or stress that pushes rocks together .Reverse faults with a dip of less than 45° are called thrust faults. Overthrusts or detachments are types of thrust faults that have a very low angle of dip and a very big overall displacement; these are frequently seen in highly deformed mountain belts. The Himalayas and the subduction zones along South America's west coast are examples of compressive tectonic plate boundaries that exhibit large thrust faults. Reverse dip- slip fault result from horizontal compressive forces caused by a shortening, or contraction, of Earth’s crust.
