Reverse Fault. 1  In strike-slip faulting, the intermediate stress is vertical. 2  The largest and smallest stresses are horizontal. 3  The shear fracture (fault) makes an angle of less than 45 degrees with the major (most compressive) principal stress direction, in this case again the horizontal.
The main characteristic of a reverse fault it that a piece of rock from the plate is thrust up higher than the original level of the ground. This formation is also referred to as a scarp. In contrast, there are two other types of stress, both forming different types of faults. Divergent plate boundaries, which is when the land plates are moving away from each other, experience tensional stress. This type of stress produces normal faults. The rocks and landforms are stretched when tensional stress occurs. Since rocks cannot stretch indefinitely, they eventually break and form a fault.
