Reverse faults are exactly the opposite of normal faults. If the hanging wall rises relative to the footwall, you will have a reverse fault. Reverse faults occur in areas undergoing compression. If you imagine undoing the motion of a reverse fault, you will undo the compression and thus lengthen the horizontal distance between two points on either side of the fault.
this might get 3 out of 11
