    In a Reverse Fault, the hanging wall moves upwards relative to the foot wall. They are caused by compressional tectonics. This kind of faulting will cause the faulted section of rock to shorten. A Strike-Slip fault experiences lateral motion - movement is horizontal, along the line of the strike of the fault.
