A thrust fault is a special kind of reverse fault where one or more plates are under the ocean. At a thrust fault, a plate below the sea is moving under another plate, thrusting its edge upward. The process of one plate diving under the other is called subduction. Thrust faults can produce larger earthquakes than strike-slip faults. The fault that caused the Sumatra earthquake and tsunami in December 2004 was this sort of fault. Rock may seem brittle, but itâs actually quite elastic.
