GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Faults can form as a result of horizontal compression (reverse fault), horizontal shearing (strike-slip fault), or horizontal tension (normal fault).

Detailed explanation-2: -Faults which move horizontally are known as strike-slip faults and are classified as either right-lateral or left-lateral.

Detailed explanation-3: -Strike-slip faults are fractures caused by horizontal shear.

Detailed explanation-4: -Reverse fault-the block above the inclined fault moves up relative to the block below the fault. This fault motion is caused by compressional forces and results in shortening. A reverse fault is called a thrust fault if the dip of the fault plane is small.
