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.
Faults: 3 major categories â¢ normal faults-caused by extension or tensionâ¢ thrust faults and reverse faults-caused by compressionâ¢ strike-slip or tear faults-caused by lateral shear. Normal fault Thrust fault Strike-slip fault. In both normal and reverse faults the hanging wall is above the footwall.
