C) The fault is at an angle.

D) The fault is caused by compression.

F) The plates are colliding.

Explanation:

the following statement are true about reverse faults.

A) The hanging wall moves up: a reverse fault is one that the hanging wall moves ups and the footwall moves down.

C) The fault is at an angle : reverse fault occur at less than 45 degree angle

D) The fault is caused by compression: reverse fault are cause by compressional stress where the hanging wall and footwall are pushed together.

F) The plates are colliding: the fault uses one or more plates that collide in movement.
