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.
A and B are REVERSE faults and C is a low-angle reverse fault, typically called a THRUST fault. A, B, and C depict Normal Faulting. In D, normal faulting has produced HORSTS and GRABENS. Horsts are the up-thrown blocks and the Grabens are the down-thrown blocks.
