Positioners used in wound care are devices that elevate, transfer, place, support, or help change the position of an entire body or individual parts. They utilize air, air-permeable fabrics, fiber fill, foam, gel, or a combination of these components.
What is the definition of reverse fault? A fault along the Earth's crust is identified by the corresponding type of stress that caused its formation. In geology, a stress is defined as the amount of force exerted on a unit of surface area. Generally, shear stress forms transform faults, compressive stress creates reverse faults and tensional stress produces normal faults.
In a reverse fault, the hanging wall moves up and over the foot wall. A special type of reverse fault is called a thrust fault. It moves in the same way as a reverse fault, in that the hanging wall moves up relative to the foot wall, but the angle of incline is less than 45 degrees.
