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.
Three principal types of faults are present in the Teton region: normal faults, reverse faults, and thrust faults. A normal fault (fig. 16A) is a steeply dipping (steeply inclined) fault along which rocks above the fault have moved down relative to those beneath it. A reverse fault (fig.
