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 reverse fault is one in which one side of the fault, the hanging wall, moves up and over the other side, the foot wall. This movement is caused by compression and is common at tectonic plate boundaries. A thrust fault is a reverse fault that is at an incline of less than 45 degrees.
