    The answer is; reverse fault

    Reverse fault is formed by compressional forces in the crust, while that of normal fault is caused by tension force. The compressional forces caused the crust to fracture and the hanging wall rises above the footwall. The Sierra Madre in southern California is an example of a reverse fault mountain.
